They look like the ear plugs my husband has to wear at work. I use safety pins, but I don't really like pinning and unpinning. I will think about this one for awhile. Thanks for sharing.

I posted about these not long ago. I ordered a couple of sets and they are so nice! They aren't foam or plastic but a molded silicone and the pin does not come out until you pull it out. I detest basting and usually used water soluble thread to baste using a no baste floor frame. I don't have good results with the spray or the fusible batting. Now I can pin baste as close as I want in minutes. No pain in my fingers from safety pins, no tedious stitching, and no chemicals! Many think they are pricey. After using them one time I would buy them at twice the price.

I may have to give these a try.

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

Never heard of them but they sure do remind me of ear plugs. The kind you use for noise that are real cheap and come in a box. So if these are a rediculous price might try the ear plugs. (-;

Thanks for sharing!!! :)

what a great idea! I HATE HATE pinning. I would do it more with these little guys. thanks for sharing!

Hi Ladies

I dislike the inconvenience of safety pins and how the mechanism hurts my fingers. For a long time I have used a version of this pinmoor method. I went to the dollar store and bought four white rectangular erasers for a dollar and cut them into little cubes and use them on the end of the pins. Not too small and the pins stay where put until I remove the eraser end.
I have enough for largish quilt for $2.00. What a deal!!!! Better than $20.00 for 50 ends. Use your money for fabric
