Someone on a different forum talked about cutting up plastic wine bottle corks and using them like Pinmoors. This is easy to do, easier on the hands and pins than Pinmoors, and appears to baste well. This will not work with real cork. The plastic corks cut with a sharp kitchen knife. Recycle & save the lungs.

Collecting the corks would, of course, be an act of dedication to the cause!

or is it just to help the fmq practise?

How did I miss this post. Rosemary, we can always count on you to make us smile. I can't wait to meet you some day!

Caedwyn OFFLINE Posts: 1	You might want to try the new iron-on batting that's available - I've found it at Joannes, and it's WONDERFUL! I was able to baste a queen sized quilt, and it even made it easier to machine quilt it on my home machine. It was much easier to handle & keep together than the spray basting that I've used in the past. I'm going to use it for all of my large projects from now on.
