Paula Jean Creations Kwik Klip Brass Tip, Brown

I saw this used on a video and bought one. When received, by looking at it thought, 'how could this possibly work as shown on the video?' But it does! I've used it several times, and it really does close the pin quickly, saving my fingertips. I recommend to anyone pin basting.

I love love this tool. My fingers are no longer sore after pinning a king size quilt. They were out stock when I did my first queen size, so I looked for when they came back in stock.

Once upon a time, I thought I didn't need this tool. "Superfluous", I thought, while pinning a baby quilt. "I can just use my fingertips", I thought smugly. Then I had to pin a larger quilt before quilting it. Once I was 100 safety pins in, I paused that foolishness and ordered this tool. Apparently I was delusional about being able to pin a bed-sized quilt without it. Do not make my same foolhardy mistake! Save your fingertips while you can! Just spend the money and get this device. I would like to thank the quilter who thought this up and the person who turned that thought into reality. Simple design, no moving parts, so functional. It works so well that I don't want to go back to my old, painful methodology. Just follow the directions on the package. Unlike some quilting tools, this works equally well for righties or lefties. You'll be glad you bought this if you pin larger quilts.

Good concept but I find it cumbersome to use.

I was shown how to use this in a quilting class. It is made to help you close quilting safety pins (which, unlike regular ones, are curved.). You may use a large number of pins when prepping a quilt and closing them can make your fingers sore. This does take a bit of practice, but it’s worth the effort. Once I learned how to use it, my fingers were much less tired & sore. In fact, I liked it enough to buy a second one (one for the house, one to take to classes.)

Pin basting my quilts have always been a hassle, sore fingers and poked digits - so I avoided doing it until, with nothing left to put on the bed or a birthday/Christmas present approaching, I had to force myself into it. This tool, when used in conjunction with the safety pin covers, makes basting a breeze!!! My fingers weren't bloody, risking getting blood on my new quilt and the pins hold securely and fasten easily with this tool. It does take some time to get used to managing, but well worth the minimal time investment to keep my fingers from pokes and prods of the safetey pins. Now I almost look forward to pin basting the quilt/wallhanging because I know it will go smoothly and I won't have a boat load of pin poked fingers. Highly recommend.

Why did I not find this sooner?!!? All the shredded and broken nails I could have avoided! I bought this because it was inexpensive, but didn’t expect much. How wrong I was! It is so simple to use, works exactly as described, makes closing pins so easy, and now I don’t have destroyed fingernails any more. If you pin-baste quilts - buy this tool. You won’t regret it.

Quality: Great finger and time saver. Has a good weight and fits really well in my hand.

Demorou para chegar, mas atende as espectativas! Gostei muito!

Una gran ayuda al quitar los seguros durante el trabajo de costura.

The product is great

This is a game changer! Such a simple device but it makes a huge difference to the speed and ease of pinning quilts. I was a bit sceptical but so glad I purchased it. There are clear instructions and it really has helped me baste my quilts. If you are wondering if it is worth it, I say 100% yes !

Such a simple tool but worth every penny! It saved me a lot of time and I think my quilt backing stayed flat, no puckers from lifting the fabric. Saved my fingers, too.
