Avant que je retourne à ma machine à coudre - voici une autre idée pour économiser!
Before I go back to my sewing machine - here's another idea to save some money!
Quelle est votre méthode préférée pour faufiler vos quilts pour fmq?
What's your favourite method for basting your quilts ready for fmq?
J'aime l'adhesif temporaire pour tissu (505). Il est fabriqué en France par ODIF.
I like the 505 basting spray that is made in France by ODIF.
J'ai aussi beaucoup d'épingles à nourrice courbes pour quilting.
I also have many quilter's safety pins.
J'utilise l'adhesif pour mes quilts mais pas quand je pratique fmq parce qu'il est un peu cher et je n'aime pas le gaspiller! J'utilise les épingles à nourrice courbes pour fixer les bords du quilt pour éviter l'effilochage et dans les zones qui ont besoin d'un peu de "sécurité" supplémentaire! Ils sont efficaces mais je les trouve difficile à enlever alors qu'on progresse.
I use the spray for my quilts but not when I'm practising fmq as it is a bit dear and I don't like to waste it! I use the safety pins to hold the edges of the quilt folded over to prevent fraying and in areas of the quilting that need a little more "insurance"! They are effective but I find them rather tricky to remove as I go along.
Récemment sur la blogosphère, j'ai vu les petits "dés" de silicone pour utiliser avec des épingles droites ordinaires. Ils protègent les mains et peuvent être retirés rapidement pendant fmq. Ils seraient très utiles alors qu'on pratique. Cependant, ils coûtent $39 + frais de port (30€ +) pour 100! Un peu cher à mon avis!
Recently in the blogosphere, I've seen little silicone blocks that can be used with ordinary straight pins. They protect your hands and can be pulled out quickly during fmq. They would be very useful when practising! However, they cost $39 plus postage (£25 +) for 100! A bit expensive in my opinion!
Chaque fois que je les vois, ils me font penser à celles-ci ...
Every time I see them they remind me of these ...
Oui - des bouchons d'oreille! Pourquoi pas utiliser des bouchons d'oreille? J'ai acheté deux sortes de bouchons d'oreille pour essayer. Les oranges sont par 3M
(modèle1100) et les multicolores sont par Moldex (modèle Sparks). Les deux types fonctionnent tout aussi bien! Ils sont fabriqués en mousse de PU. Ils rebondent en forme rapidement. Je ne sais pas combien de temps ils dureront - mais ils ne coûtent que $12 + frais de port (9,50€ +) pour 100! C'est mieux! Peut-être vous pouvez trouver certains qui sont encore moins cher?
Yes - ear plugs! Why not use ear plugs? I bought two kinds to try - the orange ones are made by 3M (model 1100) and the pretty multi-coloured ones are by Moldex (model Sparks). The two types work equally well for our purpose! They are made from a dense polyurethane foam and spring back into shape quickly. I don't know how long they will last but they only cost $12 plus P&P for 100 (£7.60 +)! That's more like it! Perhaps you may find some that are even cheaper?

Improvising gone right!! Great idea!
What a great idea, very clever!
I was thinking about getting those little rectangles but thought they were so expensive. I might use ear plugs too. How well do they stay on? Can you handle the quilt rather roughly and they stay put?
My boys use these ear plugs. I will have to give them a try. Thanks for the hint.
Many thanks for your interest in my post!
So far I have had no problems with the ear plugs staying on as the foam grips the pin very well and springs back to shape when the pin is removed - but I only use them on my small practice squares (16" x 16"). For big quilts I use the 505 spray. This is not because the plugs might come off but because I think the long pins would not be at all flexible when quilt "wrestling" and I could imagine them sticking up at all angles as I moved the quilt about! This of course would apply to using pins and the silicone nuggets as well. The only time I could envisage using long pins on a large project would be in small areas as I went along rather than pinning the whole quilt with long pins in advance. If you try it - let me know how you get on...
You are so inventive! Thanks for sharing the tip.
