Fabulous idea. Thanks for the tip. I was thinking of trying the ear plugs and was checking on prices yesterday. You have saved me time. Thanks!!!

That's using the ol' noggin. Good for you. I will now do the same as I wanted to purchase the Pinmoors, but they are costly. Glad I decided to wait. Thanks for the great tip!!

You might even try the little foam ear plugs. You can buy in large containers at Home Depot, Lowe's, Sam's club, etc.

Great idea! We quilters are a clever and inventive bunch, huh? I wonder if HD will temporarily have a shortage due to the new quilter customer base like Harbor Freight did when quilters discovered their 45mm carpet cutter blades worked in our rotary cutters! :D :D :D

You can sharpen pinpoints by going to the fishing tackle department of any store that carries tackle and they will have a little gadget that sharpens fish hooks and it works great on pins and hand sewing needles. I wouldn't use it on machine needles however. It is not expensive and it is easy to use.

I am new to this quilting, so what are the pinmoors used for?
