| I made a snuggie about a year and a half ago. I actually made 2, I gave 1 to my niece. The problem is with mine. I've used it on a number of times without problem, but my niece claims that she has been stuck by a pin a couple of times when she covers herself with it. I have gone over it carefully several times, checked every inch of seams and hems, everywhere I used pins, even checked all the fabric with a flashlite. I can't find anything. If anyone has an idea as to what else I can do to find the offender I'd be very grateful. |

| Just an idea...Maybe try and run a magnet over it? |

| Did you by chance use clear nylon thread to sew it? If so, that could be what's poking her. |

| I second the magnet idea. |

| Oh my, I made a blanket for my "practice grand daughter", and her mom, found a pin in it a year later. I felt so bad.... but luckily Sophia never got hurt by it. Moni |

| Instead of checking it flat, try scrunching up a small section at a time and squeezing gently. The pin may poke out. |

| I do wonder about using nylon thread. The ends of that thread poke me like a pin, so I don't buy anything made with it. |

| No nylon thread. I tried the scrunching thing. I'll try the magnet but some of my pins must be aluminum, not all of them can be picked up by a magnet. I'll try it anyway, some of them are magnetic. I'm ready to try anything. Thanks for the ideas friends, |

| The other day I told to my niece that we need a metal detector. She said, "Well, get it out!!", like I had one in the closet. |

| If you happen to have a good pocket type compass lay the fabric out flat then lay the compass on the fabric and slowly move it from side to side and if the compass passes a steel pin the needle will spin pointing to the pin. |
