Are refills easy to get?

I thought the same thing at first but found the use of fine scissors and saving the clipping till I was watching TV in the evening was fine. Saved a lot on fingers and overall time was still less than pinning. Glue is great I agree but I am still impressed with my micro.

Refills come from Amazon as well. I bought one extra set with my purchase so will keep ahead of the game when I am ordering from Amazon and need extra for free shipping!

I saw this very same thing at a pharmacy in their "AS SEEN ON TV" aisle. Got it for $19.99. I have a small mustache comb to press around the tags so I don't cut into the fabric. Nail clippers are great for cutting them for removal.

Those were put onto my quilt at the last quilt show. I had a heck of a time keeping track of those little tiny pieces when I tried to cut them off. Do you just let the vacuum find them?

I have one and LOVE IT!

I also have the older one which makes a bigger hole. I used it when I put my quilt on the frame to HQ. With the bigger one the larger hole wasn't the issue, it's the fact that it had leeway. I think I would like this one instead for that it wouldn't let the fabric give as much. I don't have allot of quilts that I HQ and put on the frame, so this would be a great investment for me. Thnks.

I have used Quiltac now for a few years and like it. I have to be very careful doing the quilting as sometimes the tack is close in color to the area I am sewing.

I best find mine so when I sort/organize my fabrics I can use your method. A great idea, thanks for sharing.

I had one but gave it away. BUT--I used to sit outside to remove the plastic thingies.
