I just recently switched to a wrist one but the pins go through the other side and scrape on my wrist so I'm going to transfer back to my old one.
Yes, I've been surprised by the number of wrist pincushions I've seen that don't seem to have a pin-proof base! I just got this one as a present and I like the slap band on it too - one size fits all wrists. The pearl-headed pins came with it - I'll never use them though.
The apple was a gift to myself on the occasion of my very first visit to Liberty's in 2014! Why so very long?
I'm not a tidy body but I am a bit OCD about the colours in my pincushion and the apple segments are heaven for that. I'm the same with my various pen and coloured pencil tins and cases.
I suffer from lemming pins too so the magnetic one is a great supplement and now essential for my new passion for the extra fine flower-head pins.
