I saw a tute when I first joined this board on you tube and this lady had a tool that looked like a wooden screwdriver, but instead of a blade on the end it had grooves that when she pushed the pins through caught a groove and she closed it right up. I didn't think much of it at the time but would I love one now!!
Yes I am working on my quilt on Christmas...told ya I am hooked! LOL

I agree with you about the safety pins. But I thought about one of those tools and decided it was just another thing to put down and pick up. I have a large 60x80 table I do my pinning on and I get more exercising walking around and around going after the pin pot on the other side of the table, one of those tools would give me twice the exercise because it would never be where I was standing. :roll: :lol:
