    I don't think so, but I will be sure to check all of the pins before I use them again. Thanks everyone.

    I think it's your fabric. i bought some that had holes like that in it, but i saw them before i washed it. -well i think it was before. i kept the fabric because i liked it but had to be careful when i cut pieces out.
    perhaps you can put some applique over those areas?

    I got a fabric with holes once too. I noticed before the quilt was layered and quilted though. What I did was put a ring of wonder under bigger than the hole on the right side of a small scrap and fuse it to the back side of the hole. When I get ready to quilt that quilt I'll probably stitch around the repairs with invisible thread.

    My bet it was a defect in the fabric that you didn't notice until it was too late. It's easy to miss small defects when the fabric is patterned.

    I have found holes in Walmart material, I know its the cheaper fabric, so I have to check it out, especially when using it for backing, have to check carefully for the holes! Lace

    rotary cutter is usually to blame for mine, even if it brushes up to the fabric it slices the threads.
