My Kwik Klip works out very nicely just as shown in the You Tube. In addition to that tool I have the covers on my basting pins. They are a variety of colors and just snap on once and you leave them in place. With the covers and the klip your skin never touches the metal of the pins. The pins begin to hurt my fingers after a bit. The covers were at the quilt store and Hobby Lobby I believe. No longer have the packaging so can't provide the name. I think they were $9.99 for a large bag. More than I wanted to spend so used a coupon.
