Hi all,

I use standard quilting pins, Dritz maybe. I also store my fabric wrapped around cardboard similar to a quilting store. To keep the fabric on the board I pin it - like in the quilting store. I had some fabric for a bout a year - very nice quality fabric - and when I went to use it today, I found the pin rusted and stuck to the fabric. I got the pins out but now have little red rust dots.

I am Not happy. Fortunately I'm using this fabric to make a quilted bag for my brand new acrylic estension table and the rust dots are small but - heads up. This can happen.

Guessing the dye rusted the pins. The pins I use say steel - not stainless steel. I'm sure that would make a difference. I'll be pulling all the pins out of my fabric today and using clips to hold it in place instead.
