An interesting challenge.Why have a whole pillow of magnetic sheet. You
only need it under the bobbins. As the bobbins themselves never come into
contact with the pricking, your pillow should be in 2 joined sections:
One for the pricking of material (foam ?) to take the pins and the other
magnetized to hold metal on bobbins. I agree with Jane that the neck
should have knobs to hold thread off surface, but body of bobbin could be
metal or with a metal section.  .

small knob on the top and an ever so slightly wider flat rectangle on

adhere well, then the rectangle on the bottom may prove un-necessary.
I wonder whether the magnetic sheet durable enough to take repeated
pin holes though. Or if it's really cheap may be it could be disposable.
