I bought a magnet pickup thing at an auto store. Mechanics use it to get screws and stuff from inside motors. It's a telescoping like screwdriver (with a magnet end) and cost .99

Although this is a very good idea there is a drawback if you have a computerized sewing machine. The pins will become magnetized and in turn ruin the computer parts to the machine. I know from experience.
I always keep a magnetic bar on hand to pick up pins, needles and other metal items. They are cheap and very easy to use. They take the hunt out of finding dropped pins or needles. You can make your own magnet by using a heavy strip of metal and hot gluing it to a block or rod. Works great and is inexpensive.
