I save all scraps and thread cuttings...so after using this tip, toss in a bag and keep for stuffing pillows etc.
LOL, renea, I bet they thought your 'pin' was creative! :lol:
About a month ago, I had an allergy appt. and while talking to him, I happened to notice a baby diaper pin on the sleeve of my long sleeved shirt.
I was shocked, so blurted out, "I have a safety pin on my shirt!"
I had forgotten that I put it there to mark for cutting. Was preparing to shorten sleeves. Doc said, "Leave it there!"
Smart man :XD:
I once had a knee x-ray done with the hem of my skirt pulled up just over the knee....and there on the x-ray was the little safety pin holding up the hem of the skirt. On the x-ray it looked like it was in the leg bone! The doc got a good laugh out of that one!
