While I was window shopping at Creative Grids a few days ago (possibly really shopping too, oops) I saw these "Row Marking Safety Pins"
Advertised as "Perfect way to keep your rows in order as you sew" they came with instructions to . . .
1. Place letter beads on safety pin
2. Pin into rows in alphabetical order to keep in sequence
3. Sew rows together in alphabetical order
For a Price of £4.96 I thought they were a really good idea, far better than the scraps of paper I usually use, but I was worried that the beads would fall off when I opened the pins again. Eventually I had a Eureka moment . . .
Do I have alphabet beads? Yes, loads . . . Do I have safety pins? Yes, loads
And I even have mini split rings, so look what I made
(Not that I think I'll ever made a quilt with 26 rows!)
Hi Benta - what a great idea - I could have done with these to label my friendship bracelet strands - used pins with paper labels.
ReplyDeleteWhere have you been - my sidebar has not updated you for some reason! xx
What a great idea. I mostly try to remember my rows and have to keep laying everything down and working it all our again! This could save a lot of time :)
ReplyDeleteWell done Benta, I use bits of paper and of course they always fall off!!
ReplyDeleteBenta - my sidebar still not updating you - problem your end? xx
ReplyDeleteWow great idea! I use papers and they fell. You made those safety pins much better and beautiful than those in the shop. Have a lovely weekend! x Teje
ReplyDeleteHaha great idea! They look prettier too - guess you now have the challenge of making that 26 row quilt then!
