Pins included, or not, said plainly

Every listing states whether pins come with the cushion. A cushion photographed full of pins that ships empty is the commonest complaint in this category.

Magnetic means magnetic

Magnetic trays are listed as magnetic holders, not as cushions, because they will not take a needle and people expect them to.

A workroom answers

Emery versus sawdust filling, or whether a base will take upholstery pins, reaches somebody who uses them daily.

For the machine bench

Magnetic trays keep the floor clear

A tray that pulls dropped pins out of a carpet is worth more than the cushion it replaces.
