If I pin I use the yellow head flower pins. Apparently the flowers don't pull off!!!! I hate it when you pull and head comes off. Also a friend wanted a needle gave her one after 10 minutes trying to thread it was a pin without a flower. Hehehe.

I, too have stopped pinning and have started using Elmer's school glue. I just finished Mirror, Mirror and I bet there's not one seam that doesn't match thanks to Elmers! Fantastic stuff.

If I glued every intersection when piecing, I'd take 5 years to make some of the quilts. I'm doing a quilt now that has almost 6,000 1 inch squares. That's a lot of glue!

I like the flower head pins because they lay flat, but I also use the glass head pins if I am ironing. To match my points and intersections I glue. I tried the double pins, but the glue holds the intersections perfectly and I don't have to worry about sewing over pins.

I just use the glass head quilters pins. I like the round head vs the flat flower because I find it easier to hold the round ball.
I do agree w/ many - you have to try and see what works for you. |

I had a wool pin cushion years ago but haven't been able to find them now. Where did you get yours?
