How did we ever get along without magnets? From holding the protective tissue in place, to keeping the design tissue firmly situated, to being a safe haven for our precious Japanese needles, they've made a significant contribution to our stitching enjoyment.
They aren't ordinary magnets either. They are coated to eliminate any color transfer. They are strong, but not too strong so the sets release when pryed from the top or bottom. They are smooth so the silk and or metallics won't snag or be snagged by the surface.
