<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 4131186, member: 360&quot;]In the old days, seamstresses and tailors would button or sew a pad of cloth around the top of the sewing-machine arm, and they&#039;d use it as a pin-cushion, to hold all the pins that they pulled out of their work-fabric as they fed it through the machine. </p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re talking dozens, hundreds of pins a day in some cases, over and over again. To save time looking for their pin-cushions, they&#039;d just stick it into the homemade pin-cushion they buttoned around the machine. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54e0d807e4b0c4ae29d0f422/1490919918875-PJV8CEZCHK8P7WZXYT39/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kDHPSfPanjkWqhH6pl6g5ph7gQa3H78H3Y0txjaiv_0fDoOvxcdMmMKkDsyUqMSsMWxHk725yiiHCCLfrh8O1z4YTzHvnKhyp6Da-NYroOW3ZGjoBKy3azqku80C789l0mwONMR1ELp49Lyc52iWr5dNb1QJw9casjKdtTg1_-y4jz4ptJBmI9gQmbjSQnNGng/image-asset.jpeg?format=500w" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The constant, nonstop jabbing of driving pins through the cushion scrapes and scratches the enamel paint, and the decals underneath, because of the sharp, steel pin-points.

But to get it as bad as what&#039;s up in the OP&#039;s post means that it was happening EVERY DAY for DECADES to completely scrape down the paint right to bare metal like that. It can happen, but it takes real dedication and hard work to do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
