Don’t use these to pin your quilt together. Just don’t.

They put holes in your fingers and make them bleed. And then you punch your sewing machine and scream that you want to kill someone. You don’t really want to do that, of course. These just aren’t safe, bring out the very worst in you, and should be avioded altogether.

Solution:

This blurry image is a safety pin, in case it is too late to possibly make out the picture. You know, as I now do, this little booger is called a safety pin because its not a giant open pin waiting to poke you and destroy your mood competely. It is your friend. I will be investing in many of these in the very near future. If you are using those ridiculous long pins, get rid of them, and you invest in some of those snazzy safety pins too.

I mean, look at the size difference. I should have seen that the straight pins scream “Death to your quilting dreams” before I ever bought them.

This was a mistake on my part, and I hope that you can learn from my error and my bleeding fingers.

I apologize for the general tone of insanity in this post. It is past 11 pm and I am exhausted from a day spent not only battling these darn pins, but trying to take care of my feverish almost-one-year-old.

I am now going to sleep.

Sweet sewing dreams!
