Curved safety pins for basting
Can anyone recommend smooth, sharp safety pins for basting a quilt. I just bought a new box of Dritz pins and they are horrible. I only pin baste, so please help.

I agree with the nickel-plated pins. In addition, when I was pin basting I used a Kwik Klip. It really saves your fingers.

Jerudy- I am also a pin-baster. The best ones I have found are called "Quilt Safe". They are smooth as silk to use. "Curved Basting Pins, Size 2, nickel-plated brass." Easy to use. I saved the package so I can be sure to get the same brand if I need more.
