This Easy Pincushion Stays Right at the Machine

Customize the Length to Fit!
Attach a pincushion to your machine so you can always find one when you need it. This little pincushion stays right where you want it and will never get lost.
It’s also a super quick project that can be customized to fit. Simply measure your machine and adjust the length to fit the space.
Start with a scrap of fabric and a batting scrap of the same size. Fill your pincushion with fiber fill or crushed walnut shells.
The pincushion is held in place with elastic of 1″ or less that snaps together in the back. Velcro will work too. Or use a wide ribbon and tie it to the machine.
Designer Miriam Coffey doesn’t specify the finished size, but the pincushion appears to be about 5 1/2″ long and 2 1/2″ high. The instructions are provided by Janome.
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!
PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
