Susan, I stared making Binche with a traditional teacher who did not believe in using support pins. So she showed me all the tricks to avoid the holes. That being said, I now use support pins all the time. I use the very small pins. I find that even if I don't take them out until the very end I don't have a hole. Once the piece is finished no one can tell it you used support pins or not! Liz R, Raleigh, NC
