Where did you get your safety pins? I ask because I bought a large box of the supposedly "quilt" ones, at my most hated fabric store, Hancocks (they were on clearance, I only buy their notions on sale),they are bent in the middle. The problem is the point is not smooth and even if I try to take sandpaper to them and smooth , they pull batting thru the fabric. Now I buy the high quality batting and fabric, but these damn pins are not worth a hoot.....should I just go with the regular old safety pins???? Or is the problem the size of the pin?
