I am so cute

You *are a clever little dickens, aren't you!?! Going to Michael's this
weekend to get some. I hate stabbing my poor fingers when I handstitch down
the bindings. Thanks for the tip, Polly

I was so cute today I just made myself sick. It went like this. I was
handstitching the binding on a big quilt. Turning and heaving the quilt
around, I knew, was going to cause the pins holding the binding hem to
rake
my old thin skin and turn me into a sieve.
AHA ! I got out the precious little wooden springy clothespins from my
collection of craft supplies and used them to hold the binding flat and
straight. It works, it works.
These little (less than 2" long) clothespins are about $1 for 2 dozen.
That's plenty for securing a couple of yards at a time. They are cheap,
great and look so cute. Buy some soon. Before the quilt supply people
find
out about them and sell them for $1 per clothespin. Polly
