Zirkel Magnetic PincushionAny item attracted to a magnet is immediately drawn to the outside edge of the Zirkel and displayed in a sunburst pattern. For instance, if a quilting pin is dropped sharp side down then the head of the pin will sit along the edge. If the pin is dropped "head first" then the sharp side will sit along the edge. Either way the items are dropped, they will always lay out in a flat sunburst pattern for easier pick up.
