Grabbits do much more than hold pins!

I have to admit it! I just love Grabbit pin cushions! And if you were ever to visit my sewing room, you will see that is very true in an instant when you spot the various colored Grabbits everywhere! They are so handy for holding pins and keeping them under control, but they also can be used to hold onto other things.

Many times I will have a handwork project I am working on and will often take it to a place other than my sewing room to stitch it. When I do that, I need to also take a couple of supplies such as pins, thread, scissors, thimble and a needle. So I have my project in one hand and with the other hand am trying to keep a hold of the pins, scissors, thimble, spool of thread and needle.

That's where the Grabbit comes in. It's magnetic, so my pins and needle (which always has a bit of thread in it so it doesn't get lost) stick to it. My thread snipping scissors and quilting thimble both have the needed materials to keep that magnetic hold as well. Instead of hauling around a spool of thread, I use a bobbin filled with thread so that it sticks to the Grabbit and I don't lose it. Many times I will have thread leftover on my bobbin and if not, I just wind a little.

By doing this, all of my tools are contained to my Grabbit. They are easy to find, hard to lose and simple to tote places! No wonder this little tool is called a "Grabbit", because it really does grab those things!
