I love this but not sure where I could install it on my Babylock. The whole front is the LCD screen. Bummer...

Should really be handy. No more falling pin cushion.

Yes I made one for the end of my machine that I have enjoyed immensely. Of course mine is smaller, but it works just fine. I'm glad you put this on here for others to see!

You know I like your pin cushion more than mine. I just put a piece of velcro to the side of my machine and rolled batting up and placed on it for my pin cushion, but yours is pretty.

That being said, I do like this idea.

I've seen lots of vintage machines with fabric tied or pinned around the cross bar. Could never figure out why that was. Thanks for sharing this information.
