A weighed a Pinmoor with pin in it and a safety pin on my digital kitchen scale. The safety pin weight more.

Thats a great idea. I usually quilt everything with my mid-arm on the frame, but next time I quilt a memory quilt for a customer, I will try this out! Thanks!!

I found one tye of wine at Olive Garden that I would have no problem in accquiring a large amount of corks from. Unfotuneately (sp?) the vinyard switched to a screw on top so now I can't collect the corks. Just saying...

Ask a restaurant for their corks from wine bottles. You will get a great selection of cork to use.
Or purchase some cork placemat from Ikea. They are the perfect width.

I use the medium size safety pins. I have them, know how to use them and won't replace them til they wear out!

Thanks for the great tip! I wanted to try cork, but wine gives me migraines. I have asked friends to save their corks for me as well.

Ditto feelings about Pinmoors. Hate them. Bought them and it was a waste of money. Used them once. Anybody have an idea for an alternate use for these? Otherwise, they're going in the garbage. I hate wasting money.

I decided to try this just now. It must depend on the safety pins because my scale, which will weigh as little as 1 gram, showed 1 gram for the pin and pinmoor and I had to put 3 safety pins on it to make it go to 1 gram. So with the safety pins I use, the pinmoor and pin together are 3 times heavier.

I like the cork bits on the ends of the pins, saves getting picked by the pin.

That is a great idea. There are many places you can buy these corks, without drinking.
