Just passing thru and saw this. I'll do a photo sometime and show you if you don't understand. For now ... try this explanation ..........

STab the pins thru matching the seams and corners etc. The pins will only be in once, not in and out like we are pinning to sew. Get them all standing up at right angles to the paper/fabric so that it's holding it all together. I put a whole bunch in .... sometimes as close together as 1/2" and sometimes further apart.

Then once it's like that, then go along and put more pins in and out in the normal way. Then take out the standing up pins. Yes, it takes time ... but it works ... well it works for me! Good Luck!!!!

And as I said, if it is not clear as mud .... remind me later, and I'll do you a photo!
