My grandmother was a weaver, and said one mustn't make a pin cushion out of fabric that includes sparkley silver threads.

But the fabric wasn't the problem! These had gotten driven so deep into the cushion that you'd never know they were there! =-O

Her problem was that pinheads hid in the Mylar silver threads in the weave, and needles similarly hid before they got lost inside.
