    I love the longer thinner pins with yellow daisys on the end. They always go in fabric easier for me and are worth the extra money.

    My dog, an all-white Akita, blows her coat. Should I save her fur? It's really pretty, except on the floor, and I could bake it first.

    I remember learning this trick too when I was just a child, hadn't thought about it in ages. Love this board when we get threads like this going.

    Thanks for the refressher. After reading Amandasgrandma's suggestion I remember that was something my mother taught me. That is what makes reading this board so enjoyable - ideas brought back from the great recesses of time

    Do you use straight pins or safty pins on your leaders?
