Here's a great pinning tip from KLue

Thanks Barbara. I dump my pins out, too on my quilt, always leaving them open between uses.
I went the spray basting route first, and I do like it, especially for the smaller projects. I found it a bit unwieldly for the larger quilts, tho. This quilt I'm working on now is actually my first large project basted entirely with pins. So, depending on well this goes, I may be right back with the spray. :lol:
Thanks too, for sharing the link to Klue's marble idea. That is really neat!
I've lost plenty of my own marbles, LOL, so probably wouldn't miss one more. :lol:
