save your shirt!

when i get to the bottom of a quilt, sometmes the pinned edge of the backing hits perfectly where i lean up against the machine (belly bar) it took ruining a tshirt or two before i had a lightbulb moment and figured out a very simple fix:


since i unpin the bottom of the quilt top from it's canvas to quilt the last pass anyway; i unroll the canvas enuf to cover the tpins of the backing....now i won't have little holes cross the belly of my shirt!
