I learned from my mistakes, mistake of pinning that is. I have new arotic valve and have to take coumadin. When I pin I usually us gloves, or I have all five fingers of each hand with a bandage on. As I moved the quilt around I began getting picks on my knees and legs. I immediately went to Walmart to get the clips, about 3 boxes. They are higher in price then pins, but they don't hurt, or get blood on my quilt. Speaking of blood this might be nice to share, I found out that spitting on your own blood will remove it from anything you get it on including quilts. I then wash them in the wash machine when it is completed. Good luck, I know you will love the clips :lol: Pam from Chippewa Falls, WI. (as stated above, hair clips can be used, but they rust, and rust is hard to get out)
