I keep mysafety pins in contains that my DH got at Harbor Freight that are used for nuts and bolts and washers. They stack onto one another. I keep them under my sewing machine
And one I place my binding clips. I leave both pins and clips open. Since I have MS it is easier not to open and close them . When I use them I just shake them onto my quilt and start pinning. As my little brother says "different strokes for different folks." We each find our nitch. Happy quilting!

I have a plastic pencil box that holds the majority of my OPEN safety pins, I get tired of closing them when I pin baste, let alone closing them again after the quilt is finished. They do get tangled, but I just grab a bunch of them, shake them over the quilt and pick them up that way. I just shake, rattle and roll those little suckers into my quilt, but then I'm weird and have a warped sense of humor lol.
