I had to quit taking them to quilt workshops, everyone wanted to borrow just a few and I never got them back. :?

I tried the ear plugs on 6 pins. They stayed on okay, but didn't like how the quilt didn't lay flat in the areas I used them. Safety pinned areas remain flat. I don't think I'd order Pinmoors unless had a chance to try first.

I see slight bunching up using the pinmoors too but not enough to bother me.

Arent' you clever!!! :thumbup:
The size they are now makes them easy to hold, but you're right, the pin doesn't get pushed in very far.
thanks, I'll try it.

I think I'll only cut a few and see how well they stay on while I'm moving the quilt around, etc.
But it's a great idea...thanks again
