They just slid into the fabric. She thought they were Fons & Porter, but she was either mistaken or they have discontinued them. Anyone know which ones I'm talking about and can point me to the correct brand or site where they are sold???

Thanks!

Do you mean you use these for sandwiching your quilt? I have never heard of this before. Don't you get stabbed a lot? I'm just trying to picture it. Just wondering...
