Thanks Raggiemom! I'm not familiar with Pinmoors - what are they? My quilting teacher's husband makes a tool (see pictures below) that are a great for closing pins. I understand that these are also available commercially. And I think I read here in another thread that some people use the pick from their nut cracker sets to close pins as well. I have rheumatoid arthritis and there's no way I could pin baste without this handy little gadget!
