I had to quit taking them to quilt workshops, everyone wanted to borrow just a few and I never got them back. :?
    How many did you need for a king size??

    I have four packages now, that's plenty for me. I machine quilt mostly in the ditch or 1/4" straight line echo or crosshatching.

    I tried the ear plugs on 6 pins. They stayed on okay, but didn't like how the quilt didn't lay flat in the areas I used them. Safety pinned areas remain flat. I don't think I'd order Pinmoors unless had a chance to try first.

    That's interesting. I haven't tried the ear plugs yet, but maybe the quilt bunched up because the ear plugs are larger?
    I see slight bunching up using the pinmoors too but not enough to bother me.

    You know, they probably could be cut in half.
    Arent' you clever!!! :thumbup:
    The size they are now makes them easy to hold, but you're right, the pin doesn't get pushed in very far.
    thanks, I'll try it.

    I will have to follow this topic. I'm interested in them, but they seem a little expensive.

    I bought a bag after reading a post on here and I love them! They are working great and I just pin a large section and move them to the next section as I can.

    I just cut a couple in half and they work just as well!
    I think I'll only cut a few and see how well they stay on while I'm moving the quilt around, etc.
    But it's a great idea...thanks again
