The pull-cord is just an extra safety to prevent the magnet from falling out in unusual circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m mostly satisfied with the design, but some of the stitching across the webbing was imperfect. I suspect this was primarily due to the tension induced by using upholstery-grade thread, which is very heavy and causes weird tension problems where it shouldn&#8217;t, like the eye of the needle. <\/p>\n<p>I made it with my mom&#8217;s Bernina 1130.
