What a great idea. I'm going to a local quilt show next weekend and was thinking of buying Pinmoors. I imagine the eraser tops are much more cost effective. Thanks!
Another idea would be to use ear plugs (we have little yellow ones) Maybe check harbor freight. I would think they would be pretty cheap too.
