Would anyone like some basting pins?

Hi all. I'll never pin baste again after discovering spray basting. Would anyone like my nice, curved basting pins? I have two sets of about 100 of the smaller (about 1/2") ones and one set of the larger (about 1") ones. That means I have enough to give to three quilters (in case you're mathematically challenged like I am!)

I also have a Kwik Klip for one person. This really helps to put the pins in and to take them out. I really recommend this to anyone who pin bastes. They are inexpensive and VERY helpful. Kwik Klip at Joann.com

Leave a note here, then send me your name and address in a PM.

I'd love to give these to new quilters just starting out who need them.

Woehoeeeeee.....that is amazing :)

That's very nice of you Cyndi.

Would you like some?

No thanks I have plenty. I hope some new quilters take you up on it.

So nice of you to share!!

Do you spray baste large quilts? I've never used it except for something small. I even pin-baste my preemie (36 x 36) quilts.

I spray baste everything. King and queen size quilts.

I *just* finished my very first quilt and am watching tutorials on the sandwiching and basting.
I did see a video on the spray basting and was impressed.
I guess for now I'll need some pins, eh?
LOL

I spray baste...but pin sporadically to prevent slippage...cause the spray baste does work it's way around.

Yes, I spray baste everything from practice sandwiches and baby quilts to large queen or king sized quilts.

Yes, I'll be so happy to send you some!

Okay, they've all been claimed. Yay! My lonely pins will have new, loving homes.

Yippee! Cyndi's pins found a new home!

I do both. I love the spray baste to keep the wrinkles and puckers at bay. I have a machine with a small throat harp and have a lot of pushing and pulling to do. I have found that pins keep things from migrating. AND if I am doing a lot of intricate pieces or have to switch thread colors, I remove the pins as I go, then I know which sections I have completed.

Santa blessed me with a set of the curved pins this Christmas. I certainly think they are an improvement over just the straight version I had been using.

Thanks for sharing Cyndi! You are so sweet to think of others!

You're so sweet Sandy!
But they found a home and will help out someone else until they fall in love with spraying!
I also pin a bit when I spray but I had enough to share with my friend who is a new quilter. She also took one of my many rotary cutters that I didn't use plus my old Kenmore machine. She is on her way to getting started and is now on quilt # 2. She's so pleased!
