Close-up photo of a sewing pin stuck through yellow fabric with large white polka dots. The pin has a small silver earring back on the sharp end Below the photo is a tip titled “Pin Safety.” The text explains that using earring backs on directional pins can prevent accidental pin sticks and keep pins securely in place until quilt rows are joined. Tip submitted by Joyce McCutcheon of Hohenwald, Tennessee.
A tip for the sharp tips 🪡
I often pin bias binding rather than pressing it in half, prior to attaching, and this works well for that!
