BBQ Skewers in the studio

Back in March I posted about using a chopstick run thru safety pins to keep quilts hanging straight…..

Lots of people liked this suggestion but many also suggested using BBQ skewers!!

Since you can buy a package of 100 for next to nothing, I decided that this was an even BETTER solution.

There are several things that I like about using them…..

First of all, you can use smaller safety pins…..

You can use one skewer……

….or two if that makes it sturdier……

and…..voila…..

…the quilt hangs with no flopping corners!!

I also had the thought that I could put another safety pin/skewer combination at the bottom of a small quilt if it was not laying flat!!

This combination is DEFINITELY a win for the studio!!!
