    Thumbs up Keep pins/needles from rusting

    Found this on YouTube. Great idea for keeping metal feet, seam ripper and pins/needles from rusting.

    Or don't squirt water on your needles . . . or move to a dryer climate.

    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    I received a pincushion once and I don't know what it was stuffed with but the pins in it rusted. I still have the pincushion but no longer use it.

    I don't seem to have a problem with my machine feet and unopened (or opened) packages of pins & needles rusting. Now I'll probably go out tomorrow and they all be rusted LOL

    You have to have moisture in the air for things to rust. Not a worry here.

    What a great idea! I've rarely had it happen but it has. After living in other areas of the county, I'll take the moisture to get the beautiful foliage and snow.

    It might have been filled with sand from near the ocean. That contains salt which will cause rust very quickly.

    Interesting. I haven't had a problem with rusting but this is a great idea for those who do.

    I haven't had a problem with rusting... but I always thought pins were made with a no-rust material!
    Interesting nonetheless!
