Speaking of accountability!! I teach an 8th grade Home & Careers class which includes sewing by hand and by machine. The Assistant Principal in my building has now advised me that "all pins need to be accounted for after each class." LMAO Wondering how many of you are able to account for all your pins, every day, after every sewing project, etc?
After every class, I would trot myself down to the Assistant Principal's office so he or she can count them and account for them! Sheesh....

But, yes, I do account for my pins.....when I hear them clinking as they slide up the vacuum cleaner tube, or when my rolling chair rocks crazily when stopped by one on the floor, or when my bare foot tries to pick one up, or when I realize the pincushion is empty and I need to crawl around and find some 'down there.'
Shoot, guys, I don't account for my eating, sleeping, playing, reading, even checking account.....why on earth would I account for my quilting?! I'm single and retired, that's all that counts!

Maybe some of the pins are finding their way into other classrooms and damaging something..just thinking that might be the issue here. Not sure how you'd stop that, though, metal detector at the classroom door?

Apparently my AP is concerned about safety issues but my class is not the only one using pins. Tech uses them also. AP says he found 2 in the hallway -- among the 375 students in 8th grade who wouldn't even take the time to pick up a pencil if they needed something to write with -- do you think they're going to bother to pick up a pin or two? So I had to bite my tongue while I was thinking, "do you want me to pick up pins or do you want me to teach?" -- and that was after they increased my work load by an additional 50 students per quarter due to a retirement in my department!!!

I would probably need a 5" 3-ring binder for the fabric in. Fabric out could be contained on a large post-it. lol
Nope, I don't want to account for my transactions in fabric. I buy what I want, when I want (and can afford) and I sew when I want, what I want. I already know that I will not live long enough to use my stash.
