Someone on the board stated that clover clips are the hot item of the year and also mentioned pinmores. What is a pinmore? Its use?

Your google must be broken because I found pinmoors with just putting in pinmore.

So, can you help me out?

Someone on this board had a wonderful alternative to the Pinmoors. Less costly! She went to a Dollar Store or a party outlet store and bought childrens pencil erasers for little cost and uses them on her own pins. Wish I could remember who it was so I could give them credit! It is a wonderful idea!

I posted a thread asking to Pinmore alternatives and I can't remember who posted the eraser idea. I did use this method and it does work wonderfully. I bought a pack of erasers at the $ store and DH cut them up into little sqs.

I have pinmores and love them. Pinning quilts seems to go faster. Pinmores go on the end of your straight pins to keep them in place

Love my pinmoors. They make pinning sew much easier:)

I don't like them at all. Plus they're far too expensive. I'd rather put my quilts together almost any other way. Since I have found the 3M respirators to cover my nose and mouth (COPD) (cudos to someone on this board for steering me to them) I spray baste my quilts now and love it. Whatever floats your boat, I guess (as 'they' say!) :-)

You can use Harbor Freight ear plugs and cut them up into smaller pieces for homemade pinmores. Or so I have been told.

Personally I don't feel the need for them.

I like the pinmoors. My pins were always falling out and being pulled out by the cats and the pinmoors helps hold everything together better for me. They're well worth the cost to me but different people have different methods that work for them.

I always check Nancy's Notions when I'm in the market for things like that. She has a lot of things I don't find
other places easily & gives wonderful, fast service. Good luck with your hunt!

I tried all the alternatives to Pinmoors. Some of them worked okay but not great. I thought why am I wasting money trying things that I want to work like a Pinmoor when I can just buy the Pinmoors. They won't wear out so really the cost of a package is a one time buy. I buy them when they go on sale on the website. Their Facebook page posts all sales to my Facebook page. I use them whenever I use a pin. No more pricks. I hate pin pricks.

I also have COPD and would love to know more about the respirators
