Some people may be sensitive to the basting sprays. Ergo, while at "quilt camp" we have been asked not to use them inside the buildings. I haven't tried the spray yet, but I sure will. Is the 505 the best one?

I love my Kwik Clip! But I also really love the little "jackets" on my pins. Using both makes pinning easier.

this is what I use, also. really better on the fingers!!!!

I have one of those tools and love it! Can't remember where I found it, but I think most Quilt Shops would probably have it. And I believe Keepsake Quilts carries it. If you can't find one, try using the back of a small spoon.
