Check this site for this great new product. I think it looks really good. Pinmoor.com and watch the video. You can order it also from the quilt in a day website a little cheaper, and they shipping is only 83 cents.

I've not tried them, but someone commented on another posting about them last summer, I think. Anyway, she said she'd gone to a dollar store, picked up a package of square erasers, and cut them into squares to use the same way. She'd said they worked great.

I wonder if the people that sub other things for them have used the Pinmoors? I have tried the erasers, earplugs, foam, and even earring backs. I decided to try the Pinmoors and found out why the other things are not Pinmoors.

I bought the Pinmoors and really wish I had saved my money. I have read many wonderful reviews on them, but they just aren't for me. First of all, they make your quilt incredibly bulky when you have a large quilt to pin. I don't find them any easier than the safety pins I have always used (especially since I use a pin closer which makes closing the safety pins a breeze), and in spite of what they say on their site, they do occasionally come undone and you end up with little colorful nubbins on your quilt room floor for you kitties to find and bat around. And speaking of kitties, they love them! My cats will actually pull them off of my quilts. So I'll stick with my safety pins. But to each his own, and some of you may just love them. :D

You may not be pushing your pins in far enough or it could be the pins used. I haven't had any fall off and I crammed a quilt basted with over 200 of them in a bag and not one fell off. My sew group was very impressed about that. The long thin very sharp glass head pins slide in easy and stay in. The larger size pins, the silicone doesn't seem to self heal around them as tight. I use to use whatever pin I had but soon learned which ones worked the best. Of course it was the expensive pins!
