    Someone on the board stated that clover clips are the hot item of the year and also mentioned pinmores. What is a pinmore? Its use?

    Your google must be broken because I found pinmoors with just putting in pinmore.

    Someone on this board had a wonderful alternative to the Pinmoors. Less costly! She went to a Dollar Store or a party outlet store and bought childrens pencil erasers for little cost and uses them on her own pins. Wish I could remember who it was so I could give them credit! It is a wonderful idea!

    I posted a thread asking to Pinmore alternatives and I can't remember who posted the eraser idea. I did use this method and it does work wonderfully. I bought a pack of erasers at the $ store and DH cut them up into little sqs.

    I have pinmores and love them. Pinning quilts seems to go faster. Pinmores go on the end of your straight pins to keep them in place

    Love my pinmoors. They make pinning sew much easier

    I don't like them at all. Plus they're far too expensive. I'd rather put my quilts together almost any other way. Since I have found the 3M respirators to cover my nose and mouth (COPD) (cudos to someone on this board for steering me to them) I spray baste my quilts now and love it. Whatever floats your boat, I guess (as 'they' say!) :-)

    You can use Harbor Freight ear plugs and cut them up into smaller pieces for homemade pinmores. Or so I have been told.

    Personally I don't feel the need for them.
