Did you hear of emery minerals before? Or do you have a tomato pincushion comes with cute little strawberry? This strawberry is not part of the decoration. It has emery minerals inside for keeping your pins and needles clean and sharp. Emery is a very hard crushed rock used to make abrasive powders and mixed with other species. This listing is for a Velvet Emery Pincushion, and it's filled with lots of emery. 2” wide ones has 3.5 oz, 4” wide ones has 1 lb emery powder inside. The fiber of the velvet will cover the pin holes and they’ll always look brand new. The decoration may different from the one you see in the pictureWe tried a lot of different sizes and emery amounts. Our emery sand is fine enough not to dull the top of the needles but big enough not to leak from the pin holes. It's so cute, and the JUMBO SIZE emery pincushion is perfect while you sew or quilt. You don't need another pincushion anymore. It's really heavy, so it's not moving around. Especially if you like to hold your pincushion on your sewing machine. All the fabrics we use to make pincushions are brand new, high quality, tight woven, quilting fabrics. And every pincushion has two covers. This will protect your pincushions.
