Pinmoors or not

I bought a package of Pinmoors and seldom use them. When I used to pin binding, I would use the Pinmoors so I didn't stick myself. Now, since I use the Wonder Clips when I'm binding, I use the Pinmoors to cover the tips of the stilettos I make.

I bought some Pinmores after seeing Leah Day using them. I've never been stuck so much in my life. I just never got the knack for putting them on so they wouldn't stick me. I gave them away. I went back to the medium-size bent basting pins. I never have any trouble with them.

I love basting with Elmers washable school glue. I can pin baste or thread baste but the glue basting gives me the best results. It does not gunk up the needle and I have done FMQ on several glue basted quilts.
Remember that glue basting replaces pin basting, not spray basting, and the glue does not have to cover every surface. Just dribble on in a grid about a hands width. I don't dilute mine or spray it on. Straight from the bottle.
I have never tried pinmoors.

I use my Pinmoors a great deal. Sometimes I even use them when sewing to prevent pin pricks. I'm unable to use safety pins due to arthritis/Fibromyalgia... so the Kwik Klip didn't work for me. I also will spray baste or use Elmers washable glue. I'll do anything to avoid pin pricks as they are so painful to my hypersensitive hands.

Try making some pinmoors with replaceable erasers that you can buy most anywhere. Just cut them into pieces. That way you can find out if you like them. I have them and use them but each pinmoor has to be removed along with the pin and that might be something you wouldn't like. I like using spray adhesive. Have tried glue but then I don't want the glue there as I always feel the quilt has to be washed to get rid of it.

I use 505 baste spray, have for years. It never gums up, has low to no odor.
And I use the wonder clips.
Regarding the pinmoors, I just heard of them a few weeks ago.
I actually found where several people buy backer rods, cut them, and use them. It's MUCH cheaper. Here's a post here on QB about it, and a link to Amazon where I bought some:

My metal stiletto is just plain and homely. Maybe I should dress her up with some beads!

It has been brought to my attention, by a formerly homeless friend, that safety pins of any kind are worth their weight in gold to a homeless person, so I have donated mine to a local homeless assistance group. They were thrilled to get them. I love knowing that my old safety pins are improving someone's quality of life like they did mine when I first got them, and being "rustless" they are a nice quality for them.
