Re: [lace] Magnetic pin-pusher?
What about magnetizing a pin-pusher? Tools (if made of the correct material) can be magnetized by rubbing them on a magnet or other methods. But as Margot said the pins would need to be of the correct material also.

[lace] Magnetic pin-pusher?

It's used by needleworkers to thumb tack material or canvas to a frame before embroidering, etc. You can see one by going to: http://www.lacis.com/catalog/ and entering Corjac in the search box. However, since it is meant to push in thumb tacks, it is rather big. It certainly couldn't be used for fine laces. And when I experimented to see if it would work with pins, I found out that most of my pins are not magnetic. However, it would be better than nothing and it is a wonderful tool for those of us who do needlework.

[lace] Magnetic pin-pusher?
Is there such a thing as a magnetic pin pusher? I'm thinking of something like the magnetic screwdrivers that loosely "hold on to" the screw so all you have to do is guide it into the hole and then screw it in. Holding a fine pin, locating the pinhole with it and then pushing it in is causing me problems with RSI, and I thought if there was a pin pusher that could "hold" the pin so all I had to do was push it in, it would help a lot.
