Kwik Klip has gone out of business
The handy tool you use to pin baste a quilt is no longer being made. I logged on to their website on the 31st and saw a message that the cost of producing their Kwik Klip and pin covers was too much to stay in business. I put one in my cart and today there is no website. This is so sad.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I have two Kwik Klips and too many of the pin covers to count, and they make pin basting soooo much easier. They certainly save my fingers!
I just checked on Amazon, and they still have some in stock. I bought another pack of 200 pin covers.

I have about a dozen Kwik Klips. When someone puts on on the free table I get it if no one else wants it. I find them at thrift shop in with the screwdrivers and other tools. I have a few still new in package I found on clearance from time to time. I have a shoe box full of the pin covers. I use to pin baste my quilts.

I had always pin basted. That was just the way I learned, but It was getting harder to do with my arthritis . So I looked up on you tube how to do it with a glue stick and I am now a convert! LOL

I started with thread basting. Tried having LA do the basting for me. Then on to safety pins using Kwik Klip and pin covers Then I tried pins with Pinmoors. Then found 505, then fusible batting. Went on to Elmer's School glue. Now I use Free Fuse. It's the best and easiest way so far for me.

I'm so glad I saw this post...I found some pin covers on Amazon and bought a pack of 200. Pin basting is my go-to method and the Kwik-clip and pin covers are the way to go. The only time I spray baste is when I'm using my embroidery machine to do my quilting.
