    		                &lt;img src=&quot;http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_155x125.111321408.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    		      			$12.00&lt;br /&gt;					This felt pincushions filled with emery grain. Emery mineral is a very hard crushed rock, used to make abrasive powders and mixed with other species and keep your pins and needles clean and sharp. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The color of the yoyo&amp;#39;s and beads may slightly vary due.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s 3&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for looking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FROM PET&amp;SMOKE FREE HOME&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The humble pincushion! This most basic of all sewing notions is a must-have for anyone who sews. You probably have one or two already, there are a hundred different styles and types. Some are crocheted, some made with felt, some filled with cotton or yarn, left over from other projects, perhaps, some of the them with polyester fiberfill. Whether you view them as an individual works of collectible art, a fun project to make and sell, or a necessary evil for all serious fabric crafters, seamstresses and quilters, just about everyone will agree, a pincushion (or three!) is a must-have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;#39;ve probably seen that pincushion found in any store - the tomato with strawberry one. How did this come to be? A strawberry with a tomato? How very strange. Like many things in life, it&amp;#39;s not what&amp;#39;s on the outside that&amp;#39;s important in this case. For years we&amp;#39;ve used the strawberry pincushion without realising its very important function. I can tell you here, and now, as a matter of fact, this strawberry pincushion has emery grain inside. Emery is a very hard rock and mixed with other species of mineral, it becomes extremely abrasive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you use this black mineral to fill your pincushion it becomes one of the best pincushions in all the world! Emery pincushion! Every time you stick your needle or pin into an emery pincushion, it cleans it of the natural oils in your fingers and any impurities in your cloth. It also sharpens the very tip of your needle, making your work quicker and easier on your hands. This pincushion has a lot of advantages! For example it&amp;#39;s heavy. I hate to use lightweight pincushions! They jump around like a ball, turn upside down, needles fall out. Ever had a needle in the foot? I&amp;#39;m not saying you&amp;#39;ll never drop a needle ever again, but if you put one in an emery pincushion, foot/needle accidents will certainly diminish in probability. It&amp;#39;ll only be your own stupid fault, you won&amp;#39;t be able to blame the pincushion. And another thing - this pincushion is very sturdy. It won&amp;#39;t move around even on your sewing machine. 1 cup emery is 16 oz (1lb). For 2&amp;quot;x3&amp;quot; emery pincushion you need 1/4 cup emery pincushion. Of all of its qualities, the best thing is using it to keep your needles clean and sharp. If you sew silky fabric you can understand what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good abrasive mineral is not just hard, it&amp;#39;s also tough and sharp. It also must be plentiful (or at least widespread) and pure. My emery grain is natural, milled to the finest grade and mixed with the just the right blend of complementary minerals for pincushion use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your emery will arrive well packaged, in a tough Ziploc bag, contained in outer wrapping, labeled clearly and with usage advice. For example, I always recommend using an inner liner for your pincushion, so that if anything happens to your outer covering, the emery doesn&amp;#39;t end up going everywhere. This is particularly important if you make and sell pincushions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like to buy emery grain for make pincushion for you, for your friend or for sell you are in the right place! You can find 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 cups of emery grain in my store. If you are buying larger quantities of emery grain for sale in your own store, for a small additional fee I can package and label smaller quantities within your order, just let me know in a convo or note to seller. The same goes if you need a different amount not currently listed in my shop, please feel to contact me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said earlier emery is heavy and I ship with USPS priority mail. Buy more than 1 cup and I&amp;#39;ll charge you the same shipping cost as if you only bought one. The more you buy, the more you save on shipping - you don&amp;#39;t pay for extra shipping! For international I can send up to 3 1/2 cup with same priority price and for domestic I can send up to 6 cups for the same price! I don&amp;#39;t charge any handling fee for this item!&lt;br /&gt;       </description>

This most basic of all sewing notions is a must-have for anyone who sews.  You probably have one or two already, there are a hundred different styles and types.  Some are crocheted, some made with felt, some filled with cotton or yarn, left over from other projects, perhaps, some of the them with polyester fiberfill.  Whether you view them as an individual works of collectible art, a fun project to make and sell, or a necessary evil for all serious fabric crafters, seamstresses and quilters, just about everyone will agree, a pincushion (or three!) is a must-have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;#39;ve probably seen that pincushion found in any store - the tomato with strawberry one. How did this come to be?  A strawberry with a tomato?  How very strange.  Like many things in life, it&amp;#39;s not what&amp;#39;s on the outside that&amp;#39;s important in this case.  For years we&amp;#39;ve used the strawberry pincushion without realising its very important function. I can tell you here, and now, as a matter of fact, this strawberry pincushion has emery grain inside. Emery is a very hard rock and mixed with other species of mineral, it becomes extremely abrasive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you use this black mineral to fill your pincushion it becomes one of the best pincushions in all the world! Emery pincushion! Every time you stick your needle or pin into an emery pincushion, it cleans it of the natural oils in your fingers and any impurities in your cloth.  It also sharpens the very tip of your needle, making your work quicker and easier on your hands.  This pincushion has a lot of advantages! For example it&amp;#39;s heavy. I hate to use lightweight pincushions! They jump around like a ball, turn upside down, needles fall out.  Ever had a needle in the foot?  I&amp;#39;m not saying you&amp;#39;ll never drop a needle ever again, but if you put one in an emery pincushion, foot/needle accidents will certainly diminish in probability. It&amp;#39;ll only be your own stupid fault, you won&amp;#39;t be able to blame the pincushion.  And another thing - this pincushion is very sturdy. It won&amp;#39;t move around even on your sewing machine. 1 cup emery is 16 oz (1lb). For 2&amp;quot;x3&amp;quot; emery pincushion you need 1/4 cup emery pincushion.   Of all of its qualities, the best thing is using it to keep your needles clean and sharp. If you sew silky fabric you can understand what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good abrasive mineral is not just hard, it&amp;#39;s also tough and sharp. It also must be plentiful (or at least widespread) and pure. My emery grain is natural, milled to the finest grade and mixed with the just the right blend of complementary minerals for pincushion use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your emery will arrive well packaged, in a tough Ziploc bag, contained in outer wrapping, labeled clearly and with usage advice.  For example, I always recommend using an inner liner for your pincushion, so that if anything happens to your outer covering, the emery doesn&amp;#39;t end up going everywhere.  This is particularly important if you make and sell pincushions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like to buy emery grain for make pincushion for you, for your friend or for sell you are in the right place! You can find 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 cups of emery grain in my store. If you are buying larger quantities of emery grain for sale in your own store, for a small additional fee I can package and label smaller quantities within your order, just let me know in a convo or note to seller.  The same goes if you need a different amount not currently listed in my shop, please feel to contact me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said earlier emery is heavy and I ship with USPS priority mail. Buy more than 1 cup and I&amp;#39;ll charge you the same shipping cost as if you only bought one. The more you buy, the more you save on shipping - you don&amp;#39;t pay for extra shipping!  For international I can send up to 3 1/2 cup with same priority price and for domestic I can send up to 6 cups for the same price! I don&amp;#39;t charge any handling fee for this item!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If you don&amp;#39;t have time to make your own, you can check my store for ready to use emery pincushions. They&amp;#39;re come in a presentation gift package!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        </description>

Some are crocheted, some made with felt, some filled with cotton or yarn, left over from other projects, perhaps, some of the them with polyester fiberfill.  Whether you view them as an individual works of collectible art, a fun project to make and sell, or a necessary evil for all serious fabric crafters, seamstresses and quilters, just about everyone will agree, a pincushion (or three!) is a must-have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;#39;ve probably seen that pincushion found in any store - the tomato with strawberry one. How did this come to be?  A strawberry with a tomato?  How very strange.  Like many things in life, it&amp;#39;s not what&amp;#39;s on the outside that&amp;#39;s important in this case.  For years we&amp;#39;ve used the strawberry pincushion without realising its very important function. I can tell you here, and now, as a matter of fact, this strawberry pincushion has emery grain inside. Emery is a very hard rock and mixed with other species of mineral, it becomes extremely abrasive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you use this black mineral to fill your pincushion it becomes one of the best pincushions in all the world! Emery pincushion! Every time you stick your needle or pin into an emery pincushion, it cleans it of the natural oils in your fingers and any impurities in your cloth.  It also sharpens the very tip of your needle, making your work quicker and easier on your hands.  This pincushion has a lot of advantages! For example it&amp;#39;s heavy. I hate to use lightweight pincushions! They jump around like a ball, turn upside down, needles fall out.  Ever had a needle in the foot?  I&amp;#39;m not saying you&amp;#39;ll never drop a needle ever again, but if you put one in an emery pincushion, foot/needle accidents will certainly diminish in probability. It&amp;#39;ll only be your own stupid fault, you won&amp;#39;t be able to blame the pincushion.  And another thing - this pincushion is very sturdy. It won&amp;#39;t move around even on your sewing machine. 1 cup emery is 16 oz (1lb). For 2&amp;quot;x3&amp;quot; emery pincushion you need 1/4 cup emery pincushion.   Of all of its qualities, the best thing is using it to keep your needles clean and sharp. If you sew silky fabric you can understand what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good abrasive mineral is not just hard, it&amp;#39;s also tough and sharp. It also must be plentiful (or at least widespread) and pure. My emery grain is natural, milled to the finest grade and mixed with the just the right blend of complementary minerals for pincushion use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your emery will arrive well packaged, in a tough Ziploc bag, contained in outer wrapping, labeled clearly and with usage advice.  For example, I always recommend using an inner liner for your pincushion, so that if anything happens to your outer covering, the emery doesn&amp;#39;t end up going everywhere.  This is particularly important if you make and sell pincushions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like to buy emery grain for make pincushion for you, for your friend or for sell you are in the right place! You can find 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 cups of emery grain in my store. If you are buying larger quantities of emery grain for sale in your own store, for a small additional fee I can package and label smaller quantities within your order, just let me know in a convo or note to seller.  The same goes if you need a different amount not currently listed in my shop, please feel to contact me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said earlier emery is heavy and I ship with USPS priority mail. Buy more than 1 cup and I&amp;#39;ll charge you the same shipping cost as if you only bought one. The more you buy, the more you save on shipping - you don&amp;#39;t pay for extra shipping!  For international I can send up to 3 1/2 cup with same priority price and for domestic I can send up to 6 cups for the same price! I don&amp;#39;t charge any handling fee for this item!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If you don&amp;#39;t have time to make your own, you can check my store for ready to use emery pincushions. They&amp;#39;re come in a presentation gift package!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        </description>

    		                &lt;img src=&quot;http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_155x125.81581777.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    		      			$8.00&lt;br /&gt;					So chic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used Italian batted satin fabric for this pincushion and filled with natural emery grain. Emery mineral is a very hard crushed rock, used to make abrasive powders and mixed with other species and keep your pins and needles clean and sharp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of the pattern of fbric, your pincushion may be looking slightly different from the picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s 3 x 2&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for looking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FROM PET&amp;SMOKE FREE HOME&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The humble pincushion! This most basic of all sewing notions is a must-have for anyone who sews. You probably have one or two already, there are a hundred different styles and types. Some are crocheted, some made with felt, some filled with cotton or yarn, left over from other projects, perhaps, some of the them with polyester fiberfill. Whether you view them as an individual works of collectible art, a fun project to make and sell, or a necessary evil for all serious fabric crafters, seamstresses and quilters, just about everyone will agree, a pincushion (or three!) is a must-have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;#39;ve probably seen that pincushion found in any store - the tomato with strawberry one. How did this come to be? A strawberry with a tomato? How very strange. Like many things in life, it&amp;#39;s not what&amp;#39;s on the outside that&amp;#39;s important in this case. For years we&amp;#39;ve used the strawberry pincushion without realising its very important function. I can tell you here, and now, as a matter of fact, this strawberry pincushion has emery grain inside. Emery is a very hard rock and mixed with other species of mineral, it becomes extremely abrasive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you use this black mineral to fill your pincushion it becomes one of the best pincushions in all the world! Emery pincushion! Every time you stick your needle or pin into an emery pincushion, it cleans it of the natural oils in your fingers and any impurities in your cloth. It also sharpens the very tip of your needle, making your work quicker and easier on your hands. This pincushion has a lot of advantages! For example it&amp;#39;s heavy. I hate to use lightweight pincushions! They jump around like a ball, turn upside down, needles fall out. Ever had a needle in the foot? I&amp;#39;m not saying you&amp;#39;ll never drop a needle ever again, but if you put one in an emery pincushion, foot/needle accidents will certainly diminish in probability. It&amp;#39;ll only be your own stupid fault, you won&amp;#39;t be able to blame the pincushion. And another thing - this pincushion is very sturdy. It won&amp;#39;t move around even on your sewing machine. 1 cup emery is 16 oz (1lb). For 2&amp;quot;x3&amp;quot; emery pincushion you need 1/4 cup emery pincushion. Of all of its qualities, the best thing is using it to keep your needles clean and sharp. If you sew silky fabric you can understand what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good abrasive mineral is not just hard, it&amp;#39;s also tough and sharp. It also must be plentiful (or at least widespread) and pure. My emery grain is natural, milled to the finest grade and mixed with the just the right blend of complementary minerals for pincushion use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your emery will arrive well packaged, in a tough Ziploc bag, contained in outer wrapping, labeled clearly and with usage advice. For example, I always recommend using an inner liner for your pincushion, so that if anything happens to your outer covering, the emery doesn&amp;#39;t end up going everywhere. This is particularly important if you make and sell pincushions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like to buy emery grain for make pincushion for you, for your friend or for sell you are in the right place! You can find 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 cups of emery grain in my store. If you are buying larger quantities of emery grain for sale in your own store, for a small additional fee I can package and label smaller quantities within your order, just let me know in a convo or note to seller. The same goes if you need a different amount not currently listed in my shop, please feel to contact me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said earlier emery is heavy and I ship with USPS priority mail. Buy more than 1 cup and I&amp;#39;ll charge you the same shipping cost as if you only bought one. The more you buy, the more you save on shipping - you don&amp;#39;t pay for extra shipping! For international I can send up to 3 1/2 cup with same priority price and for domestic I can send up to 6 cups for the same price! I don&amp;#39;t charge any handling fee for this item!&lt;br /&gt;       </description>

Emery mineral is a very hard crushed rock, used to make abrasive powders and mixed with other species and keep your pins and needles clean and sharp. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diameter 1 1/2&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;Heights 1 1/2&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for looking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FROM PET&amp;SMOKE FREE HOME&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The humble pincushion! This most basic of all sewing notions is a must-have for anyone who sews. You probably have one or two already, there are a hundred different styles and types. Some are crocheted, some made with felt, some filled with cotton or yarn, left over from other projects, perhaps, some of the them with polyester fiberfill. Whether you view them as an individual works of collectible art, a fun project to make and sell, or a necessary evil for all serious fabric crafters, seamstresses and quilters, just about everyone will agree, a pincushion (or three!) is a must-have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;#39;ve probably seen that pincushion found in any store - the tomato with strawberry one. How did this come to be? A strawberry with a tomato? How very strange. Like many things in life, it&amp;#39;s not what&amp;#39;s on the outside that&amp;#39;s important in this case. For years we&amp;#39;ve used the strawberry pincushion without realising its very important function. I can tell you here, and now, as a matter of fact, this strawberry pincushion has emery grain inside. Emery is a very hard rock and mixed with other species of mineral, it becomes extremely abrasive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you use this black mineral to fill your pincushion it becomes one of the best pincushions in all the world! Emery pincushion! Every time you stick your needle or pin into an emery pincushion, it cleans it of the natural oils in your fingers and any impurities in your cloth. It also sharpens the very tip of your needle, making your work quicker and easier on your hands. This pincushion has a lot of advantages! For example it&amp;#39;s heavy. I hate to use lightweight pincushions! They jump around like a ball, turn upside down, needles fall out. Ever had a needle in the foot? I&amp;#39;m not saying you&amp;#39;ll never drop a needle ever again, but if you put one in an emery pincushion, foot/needle accidents will certainly diminish in probability. It&amp;#39;ll only be your own stupid fault, you won&amp;#39;t be able to blame the pincushion. And another thing - this pincushion is very sturdy. It won&amp;#39;t move around even on your sewing machine. 1 cup emery is 16 oz (1lb). For 2&amp;quot;x3&amp;quot; emery pincushion you need 1/4 cup emery pincushion. Of all of its qualities, the best thing is using it to keep your needles clean and sharp. If you sew silky fabric you can understand what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good abrasive mineral is not just hard, it&amp;#39;s also tough and sharp. It also must be plentiful (or at least widespread) and pure. My emery grain is natural, milled to the finest grade and mixed with the just the right blend of complementary minerals for pincushion use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your emery will arrive well packaged, in a tough Ziploc bag, contained in outer wrapping, labeled clearly and with usage advice. For example, I always recommend using an inner liner for your pincushion, so that if anything happens to your outer covering, the emery doesn&amp;#39;t end up going everywhere. This is particularly important if you make and sell pincushions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like to buy emery grain for make pincushion for you, for your friend or for sell you are in the right place! You can find 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 cups of emery grain in my store. If you are buying larger quantities of emery grain for sale in your own store, for a small additional fee I can package and label smaller quantities within your order, just let me know in a convo or note to seller. The same goes if you need a different amount not currently listed in my shop, please feel to contact me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said earlier emery is heavy and I ship with USPS priority mail. Buy more than 1 cup and I&amp;#39;ll charge you the same shipping cost as if you only bought one. The more you buy, the more you save on shipping - you don&amp;#39;t pay for extra shipping! For international I can send up to 3 1/2 cup with same priority price and for domestic I can send up to 6 cups for the same price! I don&amp;#39;t charge any handling fee for this item!&lt;br /&gt;       </description>

It also must be plentiful (or at least widespread) and pure. My emery grain is natural, milled to the finest grade and mixed with the just the right blend of complementary minerals for pincushion use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your emery will arrive well packaged, in a tough Ziploc bag, contained in outer wrapping, labeled clearly and with usage advice.  For example, I always recommend using an inner liner for your pincushion, so that if anything happens to your outer covering, the emery doesn&amp;#39;t end up going everywhere.  This is particularly important if you make and sell pincushions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like to buy emery grain for make pincushion for you, for your friend or for sell you are in the right place! You can find 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 cups of emery grain in my store. If you are buying larger quantities of emery grain for sale in your own store, for a small additional fee I can package and label smaller quantities within your order, just let me know in a convo or note to seller.  The same goes if you need a different amount not currently listed in my shop, please feel to contact me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said earlier emery is heavy and I ship with USPS priority mail. Buy more than 1 cup and I&amp;#39;ll charge you the same shipping cost as if you only bought one. The more you buy, the more you save on shipping - you don&amp;#39;t pay for extra shipping!  For international I can send up to 3 1/2 cup with same priority price and for domestic I can send up to 6 cups for the same price! I don&amp;#39;t charge any handling fee for this item!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If you don&amp;#39;t have time to make your own, you can check my store for ready to use emery pincushions. They&amp;#39;re come in a presentation gift package!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        </description>

    		                &lt;img src=&quot;http://ny-image3.etsy.com/il_155x125.78428171.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    		      			$12.00&lt;br /&gt;					So yummy !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This kiwi shaped felt pincushions filled with emery grain. Emery mineral is a very hard crushed rock, used to make abrasive powders and mixed with other species and keep your pins and needles clean and sharp. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s nearly 2 1/2&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for looking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FROM PET&amp;SMOKE FREE HOME&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The humble pincushion! This most basic of all sewing notions is a must-have for anyone who sews. You probably have one or two already, there are a hundred different styles and types. Some are crocheted, some made with felt, some filled with cotton or yarn, left over from other projects, perhaps, some of the them with polyester fiberfill. Whether you view them as an individual works of collectible art, a fun project to make and sell, or a necessary evil for all serious fabric crafters, seamstresses and quilters, just about everyone will agree, a pincushion (or three!) is a must-have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;#39;ve probably seen that pincushion found in any store - the tomato with strawberry one. How did this come to be? A strawberry with a tomato? How very strange. Like many things in life, it&amp;#39;s not what&amp;#39;s on the outside that&amp;#39;s important in this case. For years we&amp;#39;ve used the strawberry pincushion without realising its very important function. I can tell you here, and now, as a matter of fact, this strawberry pincushion has emery grain inside. Emery is a very hard rock and mixed with other species of mineral, it becomes extremely abrasive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you use this black mineral to fill your pincushion it becomes one of the best pincushions in all the world! Emery pincushion! Every time you stick your needle or pin into an emery pincushion, it cleans it of the natural oils in your fingers and any impurities in your cloth. It also sharpens the very tip of your needle, making your work quicker and easier on your hands. This pincushion has a lot of advantages! For example it&amp;#39;s heavy. I hate to use lightweight pincushions! They jump around like a ball, turn upside down, needles fall out. Ever had a needle in the foot? I&amp;#39;m not saying you&amp;#39;ll never drop a needle ever again, but if you put one in an emery pincushion, foot/needle accidents will certainly diminish in probability. It&amp;#39;ll only be your own stupid fault, you won&amp;#39;t be able to blame the pincushion. And another thing - this pincushion is very sturdy. It won&amp;#39;t move around even on your sewing machine. 1 cup emery is 16 oz (1lb). For 2&amp;quot;x3&amp;quot; emery pincushion you need 1/4 cup emery pincushion. Of all of its qualities, the best thing is using it to keep your needles clean and sharp. If you sew silky fabric you can understand what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good abrasive mineral is not just hard, it&amp;#39;s also tough and sharp. It also must be plentiful (or at least widespread) and pure.

Meerschaum is a very rare mineral, a kind of hard white clay. Its light and porous structure keeps your finger cool and protected while you sew. Of course, with something so rare and so intricate, you will want to display and treasure this beautiful thimble out of harm&amp;#39;s way and where everyone can admire it. The soft nature of the mineral means that thimbles mark easily, and are fragile. To find one in such good condition is a rare treat, and these thimbles are snapped up quickly. Add it to your collection today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another important thing is Meerschaum natural filter for nicotine (Because of it Turkish Meerschaum Pipe&amp;#39;s very famous)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come from Pet&amp; Smoke Free Home       </description>

Emery mineral is a very hard crushed rock, used to make abrasive powders and mixed with other species and keep your pins and needles clean and sharp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s 3 1/2&amp;quot; x 2&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for looking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FROM PET&amp;SMOKE FREE HOME&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The humble pincushion! This most basic of all sewing notions is a must-have for anyone who sews. You probably have one or two already, there are a hundred different styles and types. Some are crocheted, some made with felt, some filled with cotton or yarn, left over from other projects, perhaps, some of the them with polyester fiberfill. Whether you view them as an individual works of collectible art, a fun project to make and sell, or a necessary evil for all serious fabric crafters, seamstresses and quilters, just about everyone will agree, a pincushion (or three!) is a must-have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;#39;ve probably seen that pincushion found in any store - the tomato with strawberry one. How did this come to be? A strawberry with a tomato? How very strange. Like many things in life, it&amp;#39;s not what&amp;#39;s on the outside that&amp;#39;s important in this case. For years we&amp;#39;ve used the strawberry pincushion without realising its very important function. I can tell you here, and now, as a matter of fact, this strawberry pincushion has emery grain inside. Emery is a very hard rock and mixed with other species of mineral, it becomes extremely abrasive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you use this black mineral to fill your pincushion it becomes one of the best pincushions in all the world! Emery pincushion! Every time you stick your needle or pin into an emery pincushion, it cleans it of the natural oils in your fingers and any impurities in your cloth. It also sharpens the very tip of your needle, making your work quicker and easier on your hands. This pincushion has a lot of advantages! For example it&amp;#39;s heavy. I hate to use lightweight pincushions! They jump around like a ball, turn upside down, needles fall out. Ever had a needle in the foot? I&amp;#39;m not saying you&amp;#39;ll never drop a needle ever again, but if you put one in an emery pincushion, foot/needle accidents will certainly diminish in probability. It&amp;#39;ll only be your own stupid fault, you won&amp;#39;t be able to blame the pincushion. And another thing - this pincushion is very sturdy. It won&amp;#39;t move around even on your sewing machine. 1 cup emery is 16 oz (1lb). For 2&amp;quot;x3&amp;quot; emery pincushion you need 1/4 cup emery pincushion. Of all of its qualities, the best thing is using it to keep your needles clean and sharp. If you sew silky fabric you can understand what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good abrasive mineral is not just hard, it&amp;#39;s also tough and sharp. It also must be plentiful (or at least widespread) and pure. My emery grain is natural, milled to the finest grade and mixed with the just the right blend of complementary minerals for pincushion use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your emery will arrive well packaged, in a tough Ziploc bag, contained in outer wrapping, labeled clearly and with usage advice. For example, I always recommend using an inner liner for your pincushion, so that if anything happens to your outer covering, the emery doesn&amp;#39;t end up going everywhere. This is particularly important if you make and sell pincushions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like to buy emery grain for make pincushion for you, for your friend or for sell you are in the right place! You can find 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 cups of emery grain in my store. If you are buying larger quantities of emery grain for sale in your own store, for a small additional fee I can package and label smaller quantities within your order, just let me know in a convo or note to seller. The same goes if you need a different amount not currently listed in my shop, please feel to contact me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said earlier emery is heavy and I ship with USPS priority mail. Buy more than 1 cup and I&amp;#39;ll charge you the same shipping cost as if you only bought one. The more you buy, the more you save on shipping - you don&amp;#39;t pay for extra shipping! For international I can send up to 3 1/2 cup with same priority price and for domestic I can send up to 6 cups for the same price! I don&amp;#39;t charge any handling fee for this item!       </description>

I&amp;#39;m not saying you&amp;#39;ll never drop a needle ever again, but if you put one in an emery pincushion, foot/needle accidents will certainly diminish in probability. It&amp;#39;ll only be your own stupid fault, you won&amp;#39;t be able to blame the pincushion. And another thing - this pincushion is very sturdy. It won&amp;#39;t move around even on your sewing machine. 1 cup emery is 16 oz (1lb). For 2&amp;quot;x3&amp;quot; emery pincushion you need 1/4 cup emery pincushion. Of all of its qualities, the best thing is using it to keep your needles clean and sharp. If you sew silky fabric you can understand what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good abrasive mineral is not just hard, it&amp;#39;s also tough and sharp. It also must be plentiful (or at least widespread) and pure. My emery grain is natural, milled to the finest grade and mixed with the just the right blend of complementary minerals for pincushion use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your emery will arrive well packaged, in a tough Ziploc bag, contained in outer wrapping, labeled clearly and with usage advice. For example, I always recommend using an inner liner for your pincushion, so that if anything happens to your outer covering, the emery doesn&amp;#39;t end up going everywhere. This is particularly important if you make and sell pincushions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like to buy emery grain for make pincushion for you, for your friend or for sell you are in the right place! You can find 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 cups of emery grain in my store. If you are buying larger quantities of emery grain for sale in your own store, for a small additional fee I can package and label smaller quantities within your order, just let me know in a convo or note to seller. The same goes if you need a different amount not currently listed in my shop, please feel to contact me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said earlier emery is heavy and I ship with USPS priority mail. Buy more than 1 cup and I&amp;#39;ll charge you the same shipping cost as if you only bought one. The more you buy, the more you save on shipping - you don&amp;#39;t pay for extra shipping! For international I can send up to 3 1/2 cup with same priority price and for domestic I can send up to 6 cups for the same price! I don&amp;#39;t charge any handling fee for this item!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don&amp;#39;t have time to make your own, you can check my store for ready to use emery pincushions.

Emery mineral is a very hard crushed rock, used to make abrasive powders and mixed with other species and keep your pins and needles clean and sharp. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s 3&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for looking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FROM PET&amp;SMOKE FREE HOME&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The humble pincushion! This most basic of all sewing notions is a must-have for anyone who sews. You probably have one or two already, there are a hundred different styles and types. Some are crocheted, some made with felt, some filled with cotton or yarn, left over from other projects, perhaps, some of the them with polyester fiberfill. Whether you view them as an individual works of collectible art, a fun project to make and sell, or a necessary evil for all serious fabric crafters, seamstresses and quilters, just about everyone will agree, a pincushion (or three!) is a must-have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;#39;ve probably seen that pincushion found in any store - the tomato with strawberry one. How did this come to be? A strawberry with a tomato? How very strange. Like many things in life, it&amp;#39;s not what&amp;#39;s on the outside that&amp;#39;s important in this case. For years we&amp;#39;ve used the strawberry pincushion without realising its very important function. I can tell you here, and now, as a matter of fact, this strawberry pincushion has emery grain inside. Emery is a very hard rock and mixed with other species of mineral, it becomes extremely abrasive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you use this black mineral to fill your pincushion it becomes one of the best pincushions in all the world! Emery pincushion! Every time you stick your needle or pin into an emery pincushion, it cleans it of the natural oils in your fingers and any impurities in your cloth. It also sharpens the very tip of your needle, making your work quicker and easier on your hands. This pincushion has a lot of advantages! For example it&amp;#39;s heavy.

This most basic of all sewing notions is a must-have for anyone who sews. You probably have one or two already, there are a hundred different styles and types. Some are crocheted, some made with felt, some filled with cotton or yarn, left over from other projects, perhaps, some of the them with polyester fiberfill. Whether you view them as an individual works of collectible art, a fun project to make and sell, or a necessary evil for all serious fabric crafters, seamstresses and quilters, just about everyone will agree, a pincushion (or three!) is a must-have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;#39;ve probably seen that pincushion found in any store - the tomato with strawberry one. How did this come to be? A strawberry with a tomato? How very strange. Like many things in life, it&amp;#39;s not what&amp;#39;s on the outside that&amp;#39;s important in this case. For years we&amp;#39;ve used the strawberry pincushion without realising its very important function. I can tell you here, and now, as a matter of fact, this strawberry pincushion has emery grain inside. Emery is a very hard rock and mixed with other species of mineral, it becomes extremely abrasive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you use this black mineral to fill your pincushion it becomes one of the best pincushions in all the world! Emery pincushion! Every time you stick your needle or pin into an emery pincushion, it cleans it of the natural oils in your fingers and any impurities in your cloth. It also sharpens the very tip of your needle, making your work quicker and easier on your hands. This pincushion has a lot of advantages! For example it&amp;#39;s heavy. I hate to use lightweight pincushions! They jump around like a ball, turn upside down, needles fall out. Ever had a needle in the foot? I&amp;#39;m not saying you&amp;#39;ll never drop a needle ever again, but if you put one in an emery pincushion, foot/needle accidents will certainly diminish in probability. It&amp;#39;ll only be your own stupid fault, you won&amp;#39;t be able to blame the pincushion. And another thing - this pincushion is very sturdy. It won&amp;#39;t move around even on your sewing machine. 1 cup emery is 16 oz (1lb). For 2&amp;quot;x3&amp;quot; emery pincushion you need 1/4 cup emery pincushion. Of all of its qualities, the best thing is using it to keep your needles clean and sharp. If you sew silky fabric you can understand what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good abrasive mineral is not just hard, it&amp;#39;s also tough and sharp. It also must be plentiful (or at least widespread) and pure. My emery grain is natural, milled to the finest grade and mixed with the just the right blend of complementary minerals for pincushion use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your emery will arrive well packaged, in a tough Ziploc bag, contained in outer wrapping, labeled clearly and with usage advice. For example, I always recommend using an inner liner for your pincushion, so that if anything happens to your outer covering, the emery doesn&amp;#39;t end up going everywhere. This is particularly important if you make and sell pincushions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like to buy emery grain for make pincushion for you, for your friend or for sell you are in the right place! You can find 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 cups of emery grain in my store. If you are buying larger quantities of emery grain for sale in your own store, for a small additional fee I can package and label smaller quantities within your order, just let me know in a convo or note to seller. The same goes if you need a different amount not currently listed in my shop, please feel to contact me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said earlier emery is heavy and I ship with USPS priority mail. Buy more than 1 cup and I&amp;#39;ll charge you the same shipping cost as if you only bought one. The more you buy, the more you save on shipping - you don&amp;#39;t pay for extra shipping! For international I can send up to 3 1/2 cup with same priority price and for domestic I can send up to 6 cups for the same price! I don&amp;#39;t charge any handling fee for this item!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you don&amp;#39;t have time to make your own, you can check my store for ready to use emery pincushions. They&amp;#39;re come in a presentation gift package!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks For Looking :D       </description>

Emery mineral is a very hard crushed rock, used to make abrasive powders and mixed with other species and keep your pins and needles clean and sharp. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s 3&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for looking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FROM PET&amp;SMOKE FREE HOME&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨¨°º©©º°¨¨¨&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The humble pincushion! This most basic of all sewing notions is a must-have for anyone who sews. You probably have one or two already, there are a hundred different styles and types. Some are crocheted, some made with felt, some filled with cotton or yarn, left over from other projects, perhaps, some of the them with polyester fiberfill. Whether you view them as an individual works of collectible art, a fun project to make and sell, or a necessary evil for all serious fabric crafters, seamstresses and quilters, just about everyone will agree, a pincushion (or three!) is a must-have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;#39;ve probably seen that pincushion found in any store - the tomato with strawberry one. How did this come to be? A strawberry with a tomato? How very strange. Like many things in life, it&amp;#39;s not what&amp;#39;s on the outside that&amp;#39;s important in this case. For years we&amp;#39;ve used the strawberry pincushion without realising its very important function. I can tell you here, and now, as a matter of fact, this strawberry pincushion has emery grain inside. Emery is a very hard rock and mixed with other species of mineral, it becomes extremely abrasive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you use this black mineral to fill your pincushion it becomes one of the best pincushions in all the world! Emery pincushion! Every time you stick your needle or pin into an emery pincushion, it cleans it of the natural oils in your fingers and any impurities in your cloth. It also sharpens the very tip of your needle, making your work quicker and easier on your hands. This pincushion has a lot of advantages! For example it&amp;#39;s heavy. I hate to use lightweight pincushions! They jump around like a ball, turn upside down, needles fall out. Ever had a needle in the foot? I&amp;#39;m not saying you&amp;#39;ll never drop a needle ever again, but if you put one in an emery pincushion, foot/needle accidents will certainly diminish in probability. It&amp;#39;ll only be your own stupid fault, you won&amp;#39;t be able to blame the pincushion. And another thing - this pincushion is very sturdy. It won&amp;#39;t move around even on your sewing machine. 1 cup emery is 16 oz (1lb). For 2&amp;quot;x3&amp;quot; emery pincushion you need 1/4 cup emery pincushion. Of all of its qualities, the best thing is using it to keep your needles clean and sharp. If you sew silky fabric you can understand what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good abrasive mineral is not just hard, it&amp;#39;s also tough and sharp. It also must be plentiful (or at least widespread) and pure. My emery grain is natural, milled to the finest grade and mixed with the just the right blend of complementary minerals for pincushion use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your emery will arrive well packaged, in a tough Ziploc bag, contained in outer wrapping, labeled clearly and with usage advice. For example, I always recommend using an inner liner for your pincushion, so that if anything happens to your outer covering, the emery doesn&amp;#39;t end up going everywhere. This is particularly important if you make and sell pincushions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like to buy emery grain for make pincushion for you, for your friend or for sell you are in the right place! You can find 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 cups of emery grain in my store. If you are buying larger quantities of emery grain for sale in your own store, for a small additional fee I can package and label smaller quantities within your order, just let me know in a convo or note to seller. The same goes if you need a different amount not currently listed in my shop, please feel to contact me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said earlier emery is heavy and I ship with USPS priority mail. Buy more than 1 cup and I&amp;#39;ll charge you the same shipping cost as if you only bought one. The more you buy, the more you save on shipping - you don&amp;#39;t pay for extra shipping! For international I can send up to 3 1/2 cup with same priority price and for domestic I can send up to 6 cups for the same price! I don&amp;#39;t charge any handling fee for this item!&lt;br /&gt;       </description>

For example, I always recommend using an inner liner for your pincushion, so that if anything happens to your outer covering, the emery doesn&amp;#39;t end up going everywhere. This is particularly important if you make and sell pincushions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like to buy emery grain for make pincushion for you, for your friend or for sell you are in the right place! You can find 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 cups of emery grain in my store. If you are buying larger quantities of emery grain for sale in your own store, for a small additional fee I can package and label smaller quantities within your order, just let me know in a convo or note to seller. The same goes if you need a different amount not currently listed in my shop, please feel to contact me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said earlier emery is heavy and I ship with USPS priority mail. Buy more than 1 cup and I&amp;#39;ll charge you the same shipping cost as if you only bought one. The more you buy, the more you save on shipping - you don&amp;#39;t pay for extra shipping! For international I can send up to 3 1/2 cup with same priority price and for domestic I can send up to 6 cups for the same price! I don&amp;#39;t charge any handling fee for this item!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks For Looking :D       </description>

Or do you have tomato pincushion come with cute little strawberry? This strawberry is not part of the decoration. It has emery mineral inside for keep your pins and needles clean and sharp. Emery is a very hard crushed rock, used to make abrasive powders and mixed with other species. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This listing is for for 2&amp;quot;x3&amp;quot; Emery Pincushion and it&amp;#39;s filled with lots of emery (1/4 CUP EMERY). I tried a lot of different sizes and emery amount. I understand when pincushion is really tight its much more better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&amp;#39;s so cute and JUMBO SIZE emery pincushions. You don&amp;#39;t need another big pincushion anymore. It&amp;#39;s really heavy so it&amp;#39;s not move around.Especially if you like to hold your pincushion on your sewing machine.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My all fabrics brand new. And every pincushion has 2 cover. This will protect your pincushions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to buy loose emery mineral for make your very own pincushion please check my store. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comes from Pet &amp; Smoke Free Home&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks For Looking :D&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;       </description>
