Oh my gosh!! THANK YOU THANK YOU. I came home from work and anxiously tried this method and all my points are spot on!!! You are awesome! I was putting the pin in vertically but the material would shift. I hadn't even thought of then pinning on each side. Perfect! This worked great - thanks again.
I'm soooo happy I could help you!! Just one more tip, if you don't mind? I now use the fork pins that you can buy at your LQS. That way once you have your pin in straight down you can get both sides of it with one fork pin. It works the same way as the two pins.
I will look for these! Thanks again. I just love that the points are all so well matched. It makes me look like I know what I'm doing!
