Hopefully it's ok that I'm asking several questions this weekend! I'm anxious to finish my quilt but afraid that I'm putting holes in it.

I spray basted the quilt but it's not staying basted along the edges, so I thought I would pin it until I can get the quilt tied. I put in several pins and then decided to move one. When I pulled the pin out, I was rather surprised at the hole it left. Will that be permanent or will it disappear after washing it?

I have Prym Creative brass basting pins bought from Walmart. They are labeled Size: 3 - 2" 51mm. Do I need smaller basting pins or should I not worry about the holes? I know I'm too much of a perfectionist for my own good but this is a gift!

Thank you!
