Surely, man is a pincuſhion.— [...] He muſt, as other pincuſhions, (whether in the form of a heart, an oval, or an oblong ſquare,) be formed by the ingenuity, and faſhioned by the judgment of ſome ſkilful female. How great an analogy is there between man and a pincuſhion. The one fed with grain, the other with the huſks of it. As the bran is preſſed into the pincuſhion by the ſlender fingers of the deſigning female, ſo are new principles, new ideas, and new affections, diffuſed into the mind, and inculcated in the breaſt, by the powerful charms of the uſurping maid.

1923, Compton Mackenzie, “The First Sermon”, in The Parson’s Progress, London; New York, N.Y.: Cassell and Company, →OCLC, page 24:

[...] and, finally, came a platoon of footmen, bearing a large green coffer full of mirrors, sponges, clothes brushes with red velvet handles, pin cushions of crimson satin, combs, nightcaps—everything that could be thought of for her comfort.

1967, Mildred Allen Butler, Twice Queen of France: Anne of Brittany, New York, N.Y.: Funk & Wagnalls, →OCLC; republished [s.l.]: Ad Stellae Books, 2013, page 127:

Yes, at two or more f-stops smaller than maximum aperture there should be a gain in sharpness, particularly in the corners. Is it sharp enough to satisfy you? Examine the horizontal building lines. Do they bulge outwards, indicating barrel distortion, or inward (pincushion distortion)?

1992 September, Herbert Keppler, “How to Test Your Lens”, in Popular Photography, volume 99, number 9, New York, N.Y.: Hachette Magazines, →ISSN, →OCLC, page 51, column 2:

Pincushion distortion is a form of spatial distortion that warps the appearance of the image. It is a consequence of projecting the image formed on a curved input phosphor to a flat output phosphor. Pincushion distortion results in slightly higher magnification of the input image toward the edge of the image.

1997, Robert J. Parelli, “Image Intensifier System”, in Principles of Fluoroscopic Image Intensification and Television Systems: Workbook and Laboratory Manual, Delray Beach, Fla.: GR/St. Lucie Press, →ISBN, page 13:

Unaware of what she was doing, Skyla gripped Ladek's arm. For someone who bit her nails, they were remarkably sharp, and within seconds he felt like a pin cushion.

2012, S. V. Bodle, “Hiding Place”, in Planet Treasure Guardians: Hunt for the Emberteller, [Bloomington, Ind.]: Xlibris, →ISBN, page 75:

(sewing) A device, originally like a small, stuffed cushion, designed to have sewing pins and needles stuck into it to store them safely; some modern pincushions hold the objects magnetically.

refn

From the collection of the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, New York, USA.

Mr. Hudson […] preaches in his surplice. We see no reason why all clergymen should not do likewise. This donning and undonning, this white dressing and black smocking which one sees in so many churches, is a piece of stale nonsense; […]

1872, Atticus [pseudonym; A. Hewitson], “Fulwood Church”, in Our Country Churches & Chapels. Antiquarian, Historical, Ecclesiastical, and Critical Sketches, Preston, Lancashire: A. Hewitson, […]; London: Simpkin, Marshall, and Co., →OCLC, page 19:

Smocking forms an effective trimming for ladies' dresses, either as a waistcoat or yoke, and looks well for the crown of a small toque with a velvet brim. The great difficulty in smocking is to gather the material regularly, or the embroidery will look crooked.

1887, “Smocks and Smocking”, in The Illustrated Queen Almanac and Lady’s Calendar, London: The Queen Office, […], →OCLC, page 39, column 2:

Smocking is not in the least difficult once the method has been thoroughly grasped. For some reason it is much more popular in England than in the United States. […] Smocking done in colors on fine white batiste, silk mull, or nainsook makes pretty guimpes and dresses for children and very smart blouses for women.

1916, “Smocking”, in The Dressmaker: A Complete Book on All Matters Connected with Sewing and Dressmaking […], 2nd revised and enlarged edition, New York, N.Y., London: The Butterick Publishing Company, →OCLC, page 29:

Such decoration should be chosen for these as can be designed to follow the threads of the material; that is, tucks, plaits, shirrings, and smockings.

1917, Jane Fales, “Waists”, in Dressmaking: A Manual for Schools and Colleges, New York, N.Y., Chicago, Ill.: Charles Scribner’s Sons, →OCLC, part 3 (Dressmaking), page 318:

An English countryman of the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century would be amazed to see how smocking has changed today. The early traditional smock, with its geometric smocking and embroidered motifs, […] originally adorned the clothing of men who toiled in the fields, tended flocks of sheep, cut wood or led wagons or carts.

1985, Allyne S. Holland, “Smocking Traditions”, in Treasury of Smocking Designs (Dover Needlework Series), New York, N.Y.: Dover Publications, →ISBN, page 4:

Her stitching was fine and regular, her smocking came out even, and the plaids of her jackets met invisibly at the seams.

1994, Ian Frazier, chapter 1, in Family, New York, N.Y.: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, →ISBN; republished New York, N.Y.: Picador USA; Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2002, →ISBN:

(sewing) An embroidery technique in which the fabric is gathered and then embroidered with decorative stitches to hold the gathers in place; the product of the use of this embroidery technique.
