what do you lay your garments on to block?
I use a spare piece of carpet. It works great.
so does it have to be something soft? i guess you have to to get the pins in… i have no clues as to what i can use… :?? :??
I just use a padding of towels, usually.
I use a spare bed, with towels on it, like Ingrid said…or the ironing board, depending upon what I’m blocking…oh, and hangers for socks 
The sock blockers are very cool. So is the idea of a piece of carpet, especially since I got rid of my full-size ironing board about 1 year ago.
I find the piece of carpet great because the pins stay in really snug. I’d just pin my items right to my livingroom floor, if I didn’t have a 2 and 4 year old running around :roflhard: :shock:
So far for my garments, I’ve just put them on the top of my drying rack. It’s got a sweater-mesh type thingy on top, and I just shape the sweater on that, and leave it!
