same here, I knew sooner or later somebody would figure out the perfect substitute. Thanks for rewarding my patience!

Thanks so much! I went to Loews this weekend and had some diffculties locating the backer rod but got a very helpful employee and it was located in the isle where the window insulation and for less than $ 8.00 got 2 bags and I will cut them up tommorrow and quilt with them this week.Thanks again as I could not justify the cost of pinmoors.

same thing as the finger moist or whatever it is called that is now selling in quilt shops.
Its the same thing I have been using for years from the Office Supply store. It is TackyFingers or Finget moistioner used to sort paper. I use it instead of gloves for fmq as well as when my fingers get slick for hand quilting or to run the thread thru to keep it from tangling.
and the same as Foam Ear Plugs you get at the drug store.

I bought some backer rod after first reading this post. What size did you buy? Mine is 3/8 or 1/2" . HD was clearancing it out and that was all they had. I find that it's easier than the safety pins, but they keep falling off. I will still use them, but only for something that i baste and then quilt right away. Clever idea though.
