I love my Kwik Clip! But I also really love the little "jackets" on my pins. Using both makes pinning easier.

what are pinmoors?

I have one of those tools and love it! Can't remember where I found it, but I think most Quilt Shops would probably have it. And I believe Keepsake Quilts carries it. If you can't find one, try using the back of a small spoon.

JoAnn's carry them. I believe the brand was Fons and Porter and you could use your 40% off coupons at JoAnns.

If you have an older style nut cracker with picks in a set..those picks hace grooves in the handle that make dandy pin closers.
|
You can also just put a teaspoon under the quilt and the point hits the bowl of the spoon and then is directed upwards.

I never pin...I always use quilt basting spray.
