Everyone likes different products. One quilter in my guild will not use a rotary cutter. she said it cuts crooked. She tears or uses scissors. I really like Pinmoors. I have no trouble pushing the pin in. I use very sharp pins. Not the yellow head quilter's pins. Those aren't sharp enough. I like Clover glass head pins. I can stick a pin in and back out of the quilt sandwich and into the Pinmoor in a second. No hassle at all. The sharp pins will stick further in the Pinmoor and will not fall off until I take them off. I buy several packages when I find a sale. When I use a pin I use a Pinmoor on it. I hate pin pricks.
