    I recently purchased these just to see how they would work. Generally I don't have trouble pinning and matching blocks with opposing pressed seams, but there are times when that "ideal" isn't possible. Yes, I could use two pins to do the job and keep everything lined up. These are so easy - and I didn't have to take a single seam apart to achieve those elusive perfect points. Pricey (I think - but then I am from New England) but awesome. Just a shout out for a product I think you might like

    Another notion I have in my sewing box, but haven't gotten around to trying yet-I don't have problems matching up seams, and have gotten long without them for years, but maybe I should give them a try if you think they are that good! Thanks!

    I've used them for years and love them. I've shown many friends how to use them and even given them as gifts. They are wonderful.

    I've seen them at JoAnn's and have been tempted to buy them. I think I will give them a go next time I have a coupon. Thanks.
