This is a good idea, but if the peanuts are too soft, then maybe another type of foam. Say, heavy foam for cushions? Or maybe some plastic foam for packing heavy, easily broken things? My computer came in such a box with form fitting foam. Wish I'd kept a little of it, might even have some around. This kind cuts easily with an electric knife or an hot electric foam cutter, sorta like a cheese cutter with heat.
Thanks for the idea, I'll try it.

On another thread someone 'found' their can of spray up on top of a cupboard or something like that so look where you least expect it to be because you 'put it away' :)
Yes. But my peanuts are too airy. Just something to try. I didn't want to take the time to safety pin and I still can't find my new can of basting spray. So tomorrow requires a trip to Joann's. Oh pooh! :-P :roll:

I just did a search to find out what "Pin-Moors" are...can you tell I am new to quilting...HA!!
I couldn't find out how big the "Pin-Moors" are....even though they are a Great idea. I wonder if you could use the erasers like the ones you buy as a replacement eraser for the mecanical pencils...depending on the size you can get 3 to 5 erasers to a package and since they come in different sizes as far as length you could cut them in half. Also wonder if the rubber backs for earrings would work?
Just some thoughts there.
Have a Great Week!!
