Keeps me from sticking myself with the pins as I work. I am on blood thinners and one stick from a pin results in blood on my fabric.

Another similiar idea is to buy a package of ear plugs (at WM in the pharmacy dept) cut these in 1/2 and put them on the ends of the pins. These are the QB's version of Pinmoors. They work great!
