OMG, I thought I was the only one who did that. I had just finished my first quilt - it was for a baby boy. I gave hand quilting a try, and about half-way through, I felt this little round ball. It was a pin between the batting and the top. I tried working with the head, moving it around, and tried to get it back through the top. I was finally successful but it did make a little hole. I was so flustered, but I just put some liquid stitch around it, and gave it to her anyway.
