Magic Pins Quilting is a technique in quilting that involves using special pins to securely hold the fabric layers together during the quilting process. These pins are designed to be easily inserted and removed, making them more convenient than traditional quilting pins. The magic pins used in this technique are longer than regular pins, which allows for easier insertion through thick layers of fabric. They also have a curved shape and a sharp point, making them ideal for holding fabric securely in place. One of the main benefits of using magic pins in quilting is that they help prevent shifting and distortion of the fabric layers while quilting. This is especially important when working with intricate designs or when machine quilting, as any movement of the fabric can affect the final outcome of the quilt.
The only spec's on this rod? "Medium Power".
I paired the DFMM70MS with a brand new Stella FE 3000, spooled the reel up with some eight pound Sunline Shooter Metan Invisible, and tied on the new Zappu Tungsten Mustang jig head with an Owner Shiver Tail soft plastic.

This is especially important when working with intricate designs or when machine quilting, as any movement of the fabric can affect the final outcome of the quilt. Additionally, magic pins are designed to be thin and smooth, which reduces the risk of snagging or damaging the fabric. This is particularly important when working with delicate or easily damaged fabrics.

Do You Believe in Micro-Magic? WTF!! : Duckett Fishing's Medium Powered Spinning Rod (continued)
Field Tests: In the spirit of What the Finesse (WTF!), Zander and I headed to Clear Lake, California for some early season jig head and drop shot fishing. I paired the DFMM70MS with a brand new Stella FE 3000, spooled the reel up with some eight pound Sunline Shooter Metan Invisible, and tied on the new Zappu Tungsten Mustang jig head with an Owner Shiver Tail soft plastic. Can you tell it’s the start of a new review season here at TackleTour?
The DFMM70MS casts like any other spinning rod.
Casting: The moment of truth. We already know from our own experience that casting distance is unaffected with the use of micros. We also know that casting rods outfitted with micros tend to be more crisp during a cast because there is less weight out at the end of the rod. Of course, that was via a comparison of two rods built on the same blank one with micros and one without.

We had no such luxury when testing the DFMM70MS so all we could go with was how this individual stick felt. In the end? Following that first cast, the fact that this rod had a set of micro guides on it was an after thought. Distance, accuracy, etc. were all non issues. The only place I could see the micro-guides on this rod coming into play is if you wanted to rig this stick up for some float and fly or just standard bobber fishing action. You will not be able to get bobber stoppers through the guides.

Power: The DFMM70MS is a medium powered stick with no line or lure ratings on the rod itself. A visit to the manufacturer’s website reveals “Boyd’s Suggested Uses” as being 1/8 oz Shakey head and ½ oz drop shot, light worm. No other rating information is given on this stick.
The only spec's on this rod? "Medium Power".
Traditionally, we do not WRACK all the spinning rods we intend to review because most are light to ultra-light in power and everyone knows what to expect out of a light to ultra-light powered spinning stick. The only real differences tend to show in their taper, and that is something that can be assessed visually by handling the rod.

Reviews for "Embellishing Your Quilts with Magic Pins: A Guide for Crafters"
1. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I was really disappointed with Magic Pins Quilting. The pins were advertised as being "magic" and making quilting easier, but I found them to be just like ordinary quilting pins. They didn't hold the fabric securely and I constantly had to readjust them. In addition, the packaging was misleading, as it promised a "quicker quilting experience", but I didn't notice any difference in my quilting time. Overall, I don't think these pins are worth the money and would not recommend them to other quilters.
2. John - 2/5 stars - I purchased Magic Pins Quilting hoping it would improve my quilting experience, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. While the pins themselves were decent quality, I didn't find them to be any different from other quilting pins I've used. They didn't hold the fabric securely and I had to constantly adjust them, which was frustrating and time-consuming. The claim of "magic" in the product name is misleading, as there was nothing particularly special about these pins. I would suggest trying other brands or alternative methods for securing fabric when quilting.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to try Magic Pins Quilting, but they didn't live up to the hype for me. The pins were just like any other quilting pins I've used before and I didn't notice any special benefits or improved accuracy in my quilting. In fact, I found that the pins were difficult to work with as they would often snag on the fabric or get stuck, causing frustration and slowing down my quilting progress. I would not recommend these pins to fellow quilters, as there are better options available in the market.
4. Robert - 1/5 stars - Magic Pins Quilting turned out to be a complete waste of money for me. The pins were flimsy and didn't hold the fabric securely, leading to frequent fabric shifting and mistakes in my quilting. I expected better quality and performance considering the price point. The claim of "magic" pins was simply an empty marketing ploy as I didn't experience any magical benefits or improved quilting experience using these pins. I regret purchasing them and would not recommend them to other quilters.
