These lightweight pin picker uppers compact to a small size, yet easily extends to a 28" reach with a cushion grip handle to prevent possible slipping.
There is also a bright LED light that can easily be turned on or off. And the part that has the light is magnetic, making it a breeze to pick up pins that have fallen on the ground. No more bending down to pick up a pin for me. Plus, it is so much easier to see the pins on the floor with this LED light too!
This product is really a very reasonable price, making this a great product for quilting, sewing and even embroidery enthusiasts, along with those that may want to pick up screws, nails and other parts that "garage" hobbiest may drop, from time to time. My DH can certainly vouch for this product too, but admittedly he doesn't call it a "pin" picker upper.
Did I mention a giveaway? "Toys for Quilters" is our Fun Friday Sponsor today and they have generously offered 3 pin picker uppers to be given away to followers of SewCalGal. But, first, I want to share a little insight with you about this company.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 273 of 273This looks like a useful tool. Thanks for a chance to win.
Oh, I'd love one of these! When I was at Fabric Depot, one of the assistants in the notions department was swooning over this.
Thanks for the giveaway.
There are a lot of fun things to choose from at this shop. I would choose the little chicken snips--I've never seen any like them. We have four chickens, so I'm a sucker for anything hen-related.
I have an ordinary magnetic one and it's great, but it's hard to see the pins that fall behind the table, so one with a light would be great!
I think it is a must have for any sewing room or anywhere you are using pins
Wow thank you for the wonderful heads up on this tool. I have not seen it before but it would be wonderful for those of us with bad backs or knees, just great thank you...Now let me go check the other toys out....have a great day....
I cannot believe I never came across that site so now I have bookmarked it. I love the pen measuring tapes and the purse hangers and a few more things...how convenient. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Lighted pin picker-upper looks like a wonderful thing!
Always up for a cool new gadget!
Thanks for a fun giveaway. I have never seen one of these.
I agree with crowefan, those animal tape measures are so sweet
So who says 'men and their toys'? I think we have better toys and thanks for the new 'toy store' This 'toy' looks like fun and useful. Thanks.
I would love to win! I've been enjoying all of the information on free motion quilting....I'm new at it and want to learn more...thanks so much!
I went to the new 'toy store'. There's a lot of stuff but I think 'The Stand' is my favorite - small enough to be next to the sewing machine with whatever notes are needed at that time. Thanks.
I always worry about our dog coming in the sewing room and 'finding' my pins for me. With this great little tool, I could scan the carpet and not risk her finding the pins for me. Great idea!
I went over to the store and love all the gadgets, but if I have to choose, I'd choose one of the magnifier tweezers! cathyquiltsalot@yahoo.com
That headlight might come in quite handy at times. And I love the novelty fabrics - every so often I find a need for something different. Thanks for sharing their site!
I would love to win the picker upper! Great invention! cathyquiltsalot@yahoo.com
I checked out the site. Wow! Their prices are so reasonable! I love all the gadgets, but if I had to choose, I'd pick one of the magnifier tweezers. cathyquiltsalot@yahoo.com
Oh wow, I am always losing my pins! missysaprons@yahoo.com
Great give away! So useful! No more looking for the pins I dropped, using the extended tool will be so easy! No need for a easy button, just a Lighted Pin Picker Upper!!
midwayfarms@hughes.net
Looks like a great tool, but I have the feeling my husband is going to want one too!
I love your blog, and want to Thank You for educating us "new" bloggers! I hope I now have my setting right!
I absolutely love the novelty tape measures and I also found some fabric I've been looking for.
Boy, these are nifty...I'd love to win it. Thanks for setting these giveaways up. Love your blog
Since I have carpet in my sewing room, the pins drop and I don't hear where they land! I'd love one of these and the light is an added bonus. Thanks to Toys for Quilters for sponsoring this giveaway.
I just went through Toys for Quilters entire website and I kept coming back to the Bright Spot light. I can think of several uses for it already!! Primary is to add more light to my sewing machine's surface.
I'm a follower. Thanks for the chance to win this great prize.
My eyesight is a little iffy at times - so the Magnifying Tweezers at Toys for Quilters would be great. Thanks for the chance to win.
Perfect little tool for when you have a little 2yr old running around! Thanks for the chance to win.
Okay, finally found the comment area! Ignore my recent email, please, lol! I love this! Haven't seen one in person yet, but looks like a great tool for my studio, so please enter me!
I went to their site too, to check out quilt toys, & this is definitely one I would buy, & my favorite, thanks!
I'd love one of these for my sewing room. Great idea and so useful.

I think the sticky hand is too funny and useful!

This looks a great idea!
I'd love to win one!
I checked out the site and I like the magnifying tweezers! they sound a great idea!
I love the idea of the Tool Nanny and the Wedgie are right up my alley. They have some great tools for quilters, that's for sure. Thanks for offering the free giveways.
love toys for my dining sewing room thanks
just visited toys for quiltors and they have some neat fabric
Thanks for the info re checking to ensure my email address shows...completely missed that when I set up my account. Checked now.
Could really use the magentic pin picker upper with the light.
Thanks, Marilyn S
Went to tools for quilters...really like the tiny scissors. Would really come in handy for my new life as a stitcher ;-) So many crafts, so little time.
i looked at the other site, and I really need that lighten pin pick upper gadget, i have 3 cats, and I must search for anything that could have felt and I am too old to get down on the floor, I even found out I was laying on a straight pen in my bed, and how I got one there I do not know! Thanks for 2 entries here

Not sure why previous comment wasn't posted, but trying again. Already have a magnetic picker-upper, but one with a light would help in the small places at the side of the sewing table where it's hard to see anything.
This would be so much better than toes or paws finding pins!!
Love this picker upper it looks so handy for so many uses!!!!
Oh to win this handy pin picker-uperer...would be just so delicious.
Thank you for the lovely giveaway
Cheers
Now I have been to the site and just love, love, love the measuring tape with the Dice... and of course it has to be the red one. Delicious!!
Cheers
How fun to have something useful yet fun to use! I'd love a chance to win. Thanks.
i like the clip lights - the older I get, the more light I need!
I would really like that light. Thank you for the chance
What a great item to win. Or else I'll have to go shopping...............
I would love this magnetic pin picker upper. I am always losing pins under my table and have to crawl on my hands and knees with a flash light to find them.
Oh I do like sewing toys. This looks like a good one. It will be even better than the unlighted wand I have now. Oh I do hope I win one.
I love the storage cupboard.
I love gadgets and the lighted pin picker upper looks like alot of fun to use. I hope to win!
this sounds like a really useful gadget for a klutz.
I am happy to have a chance to win a very useful tool! Thank you!
Love the mini picker upper :) thanks for the chance to win!
Visited the site and was hard to narrow it down. I think I would get the light that you can wrap around anything, forgot the name. says assorted colors, but didn't list any. If it was in purple or pink, it would be mine :)
This looks like a great tool that I could use frequently - thanks for telling us about it
Since I can never get enough light on anything it seems, I'd love to win this! Thanks for the opportunity.

The Tool Triangle looks like the handiest of handy gadgets to me!

Oh boy, who hasn't stepped on a dropped, missed pin. And does it hurt. I always start sewing with shoes on but end up with them kicked off. A magnet and a light would be so great. Thanks.
What a nifty tool. That would be great for reaching those pins that I always seem to drop and I end up on my hands and knees picking them up.
Thank you and Toys for Quilters for a great giveaway and a chance to win.

I visited the site, Toys for Quilters and had to have a look in every area. So much fun, infact I saw items that a few of my friends have been looking for. I can't wait to share this website with my sewing buddies. I saw lots of great things. I love the tape measures that have the different animals. Did you see the chicken? You pull the "egg" to pull the measure out. hehe. Great fobs for scissors etc.,a mini ladybug vac and a light you wear like a bluetooth. Neat right?
Thank you and Toys for Quilters for an awesome giveaway and a chance to win.

I cannot find this anywhere....so excited
I love the picker upper. What a neat gadget.
Bonnie
I love the fuzz nabber at the toys for quilters site. Bonnie
I've seen magnetic wands before but never one with a light!!! and a LED light at that! AWESOME - would sooooo love to win one! :)
Love from Indiana! ~bonnie
I took a look at Toys for Quilters and saw their "Cotton Picker" :) I've seen a few bloggers who have blogged about these and love theirs. Now I know where to buy one! :)
Love from Indiana! ~bonnie
I'd love to win the lighted pin picker upper. I cross stitch as well as quilt so dropped needles are a constant.
I could so use this picker-upper...my sewing box room is not well lit, my eyes are old and the carpet is blue with tiny spots on it..so of course the pins blend in, till I step on them, they they are easy to find, surrounded by blood.
I have a US address for sending this to if I happen to win, why expect someone to pay international shipping, when my sweet aunt will be happy to throw it in a "CARE BOX" for me.
