    WOW!!! Those are great. I didn't want to spend the money on the pinmoors either. I've been using the little erasers, but this is a much better idea!! Thanks for the tip

    Good idea. You have to remember that Pinmoors are a one time buy. They won't wear out and are self healing. The reason I buy the Pinmoors is because they stay securely on the pins until I pull them off. No accidental pin pricks. I like the pretty colors too.

    That will work for me. I'm all about doing something as inexpensively as possible.

    DH had some of the Baker Rod in the garage so I cut some this morning to compare to the Pinmoors. The Pinmoors worked so much better for me.
