Don't those things leave a hole in the fabric?

I have the red one, which ever brand that is. I use it more to hold pieces of cut fabric for each block then I ever did to baste. It works okay for basting but made my fingers sore to use it. One thing I did find very useful is the tag cutting gadget. It saved me a lot of time removing the tags and no fear of nipping the quilt.

I have just purchased a tag gun but he didn't have a removal tool - can someone either post a pic of what I am looking for or a link to where I can get one. Thanks for all the info.

No more so than safety pins - maybe even less.

So far, any "holes" in the fabric from safety pins or barbs has nearly disappeared by the time I'm done quilting and I can't find any holes after I've washed the quilt.

This is the one I bought - the MicroStitch tag removers are apparently only sold in the UK. I didn't find a single web site for a company in the US that sells them.

Check ebay for the removal tools.

Oops, I forgot to put the link in my other message - this is the only barb-removal tool I could find online in the US:
