OWIEEEEE

my fingers are bruised and bleeding after pin basting 4 lap and baby quilts
today. I have a twin size quilt I wanted to get sandwiched too but think it
will wait until tomorrow.

Ouch! Yes, waiting would be prudent. Do you use something to take the
strain off your fingers as you close the pins? I have one of those Kwik
Klips, and it really helps.

I keep thinking I will get one of those but I haven't. So I close them the
old fashioned way. The BOM is calling me now so think I'll do that.

Howdy!
Got a grapefruit spoon, one of those w/ a serrated edge?
Some quilters use those for closing pins.
I love the Kwik Klip.

Congrats on all the pinning. I expected to read
that you had to stop while the factory made more pins. g

When I was making all the quilts for Christmas, I accumulated a LOT of pins.

called... no more pain involved in pinning...

Kwik Klip - if I pin baste (spray baste is my preferred method), I couldn't
close all those pins without the Kwik Klip - what a great $5 investment! It
really saves your fingers. You can also use a grapefruit spoon & I think
there's another household tool you can use, but I don't remember what it is.

Get 12 ice cubes. Put 10 on a tray and place your sore pinkies on them
until they melt. Place the remaining 2 ice cubes in a tall glass, add a
measure of gin and top up with tonic water. Isn't that better already?

My DS made a tool for me out of an old screw driver. He cut the point off
leaving the handle and the spindle. He took one of those tool and die
cutters and made threads around the end so it would have grooves to hold the
pins. Now I have no more sore and cut fingers.
