val thanks for this tip. i had some straight pins that were particularly thikc that i was thinking of getting rid of but now i will try them for pinning. i also bought some of those curved saftey pins and what a waste of money. the "metal" was so thin they just bent more.
i havent had any trouble yet with the saftey pins and i also have a basting gun i bought eons ago that i havent tried using yet. has anyone tried the basting guns? if so, what is your impression?
