WOW!!! Those are great. I didn't want to spend the money on the pinmoors either. I've been using the little erasers, but this is a much better idea!! Thanks for the tip

Good idea. You have to remember that Pinmoors are a one time buy. They won't wear out and are self healing. The reason I buy the Pinmoors is because they stay securely on the pins until I pull them off. No accidental pin pricks. I like the pretty colors too.

I can hear it all now at Home Depot! " Hey everybody, open those doors wide! Clear the Aisles! Get ready on Aisle 6! Here come those beautiful, talented quilting ladies after those Backin' Rods! Everybody step lively, put on your smiling faces, those ladies are here to do business! Look at them come! Maybe we shoulda put an urn of coffee in here for them, they've probably be doin' that quiltin' all night! Wish I'd have gotten a case of candy bars, I hear they like chocolate...................

That will work for me. I'm all about doing something as inexpensively as possible.

DH had some of the Baker Rod in the garage so I cut some this morning to compare to the Pinmoors. The Pinmoors worked so much better for me.
