    Question Quilter's pins.........

    Do you use regular pins or quilter pins? I needed (notice need) some more (where do they disappear to anyway?), was at Walmart and noticed all the different kinds. I ended up buying the Quilters pins that have the "knobby" on the end. They are more expensive but make pinning so much easier. Long and thinner needle and with the ends they are easy to find when you have alot pinned. I paid $9.17 (Canadian) for 500 pins.

    How about you?

    I use quilters straight pins (with the little colored heads) for pinning pieces together and they are the long pins.

    For pinning the quilt together to do the final quilting, I use small safety pins. I purchased those in a pkg. of 500 at Zellars.
