I had heard and used "the bobby pin method", but I do believe somewhere down the line I missed the part of sniping a notch, as well as which way to thread on the pin. Now it should go much better ... not that I'm turning many spaghetti straps these days.

I am not sure where I learned the bobby pin technique, but it *might* have been from Bobby Carr, back in the early 80s. She was fantabulous!! (She helped me, a bit, when I was fitting my wedding gown.)
