is there a perfect pin?
Im looking for a really fine pin. I like the length of a flat flower head but find the shaft too thick. I want a long pin that is fine. I find the finer pins much easier to work with. Anyone have any suggestions?

This is one of the best pins I have found. It's the only ones I use for pining matching seams. now:http://www.clover-usa.com/dyn_prod.php?k=8710&p=CLV2507
They are super thin and very sharp. They glide in the fabric.

These pins were recommended by Sally Collins in her video on Precision Piecing. Everyone who has tried them thinks they are the best pins they have ever used.

I just bought Harriet Hargrave's Quilter's Academy Vol. 1 book last week. She recommends the Clover Patchwork pins (mentioned above). Although we are told not to sew over pins, she says these extra fine pins are the exception to the rule....just go slow.

I am going to invest in some of these pins and give them a try. I have always used long silk pins but i forget what brand they are. I have had them for years. Rark red glass heads, long and thin but strong and flexable.
