What are pinmoors?

Pinmoors are a small firm foam cylinder that in combination with a headed straight pin, replaces safety pins.

They are real easy to use, you never have the problem with a safety pin catching on the material, and the bright colors make it real easy to find so you never end up with a missed pin when you pull them out after quilting.

I really like these - work very well - much better than safety pins.

These look like they would be really handy for hand quilting along with machine quilting, easier to remove and pin a quilt wit.

OMG, thanks for posting this...NO MORE PIN STICKS! YES!!!!

FYI for those on a tight buget,

I use ear plugs, I bought a huge plastic container of 100 for a couple bucks and used them just like these.

Someone had a post on here recently about using pencil erasers from the dollar store. You can buy a whole bag for $1. They are the kind that fit over the end of a pencil after your eraser is used up. Just trim off the end that fits over the pencil and you have a triangular eraser left. I bought two bags.

I've got Pinmoors in three colors. I really like them and they work quite well. My worry about erasers is that there will be eraser scraps left behind.

I bought these recently too and love them! I use them a lot for regular sewing and use really sharp pins, it's so nice to NOT get stuck by pins as I work the fabric through the machine!

Why have I not seen these before...duh. Ordered some.

TY think I am going to order some.

I used the foam triangle wedges that you use to put on makeup. I cut them and they work wonderful. I purchased the makeup pads at the Dollar Tree. You can cut a ton of them for the $1.00.

I love the pinmoors....have the purple, green and blue ones. I don't pin very much since I use the basting spray but they are great for around the edges and various other things. They are guaranteed for a lifetime if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you thank you--tight budget here! "Who would thunk it?"
