I wasn't sure if I would like them so I bought a packet of disposable ear plugs to try the process. In the near future I will get the real thing and I will definitely buy the big bag.

I recently got the backer rod foam insulation and cut it to make DIY pin protectors and I really really like them. Occasionally one slips off, but since I spent $5 for about 500 of them, I feel like it is worth the hassle over using real pinmoors.

Very bottom of the page. Instead of 50 for $15, the drop down box has the option to order the 200 ct bag.
No affiliation with Pinmoor, just sending those interested to a site that will save some money.

Unfortunately, they're now up to $57.50 for 200,for but I guess it's still better than $62.50 for the pick your own colors, and certainly better than the $17.50 for 50! I got a small package to try them out and do like them, as they are much easier to get off when you're doing FMQ and forget until you nearly run over one!

I don't understand why the shock over the price. They work great, will last a lifetime, and easy to use.

I ordered my pinmors about a month ago. Love using them. Pinned my binding on my last quilt. Sewed the final piece by hand and didn't get stuck once. I think they are a bit pricey but I love using them.
