I went to pick up a quilt I had a LA baste for me this morning. There on her work table was one of these! I laughed and told her about the postings here about it. She said she loved it! She had seen the bigger automatic ones and always wanted one for herself. The machine never jammed up the whole time I was fiddling with it. She had different size of pins in it but said she liked one size she uses the most so she'll only put that size in it so each pin will be the same. She had a second one still in the box for her other sewing room. She said everyone at her FMQ group had one so I guess many do like them.
