Slightly bend the pin so it's easy to insert through the layers of your quilt. You will need to put some pressure on the Magic Pins because they are so sturdy to get them to bend. 2. Insert the pin into your quilt through all the layers, then back up again to the top. Insert pins starting in the middle of your quilt and space them 4-5 inches apart. 3. Cap then end of the pin with a Pinmoor Pin Anchor. Push the pin stopper over the sharp end of the straight pin to secure it in place. While you are quilting, pull on the grippy, rubber head of the Magic Pin and the Pinmoor will slide off. Toss both in a storage container and keep on quilting. Use a magnetic pincushion to separate the basting pins from the Pinmoors and store them until you're ready to baste your next quilt.

The special silicone material in the Pinmoor is self-healing so no matter how many times you use them, the Pinmoors will grip the pins and hold tight. Removing the pins and Pinmoors is much easier too. The bright colors of the Pinmoors stand out so you see them clearly on the quilt surface. And lastly, this method adds no additional chemicals to your quilts or your sewing room. If you'd like to go basting spray free, this Quilt Basting Kit is for you!
