I love the flat headed pins. I have had the flower heads for ages and just bought some with butterflies. They are nice and long.

I love them. I love that they are thinner and keep things much flatter. They are easier to hold on to.

I like using them as well. The only drawback I have found is they bend easily. And when you poke yourself with one of them you know it. I pick them up at super good sales when I can find them. One time I was at a quilt class and another quilter did not bring pins, we did not need many, but the lady lending them asked for them back. I guess they are pricey or can be, I was a little surprised.

I love my flatheaded pins! They are longer and have thin shank and sharp points.

Flat head pins were recommended for a Stack & Whack class I took years ago. I loved them and have used them ever since. The reason they were recommended was you can pin the fabric layers together and still lay your acrylic ruler on top of them to rotary cut. Of course you do have to make sure to keep the pins back from the edge you are cutting. Mine also don't melt if the iron gets too close. The machine sounds funny when you stitch through a flower but it didn't break the needle or hurt my Bernina. Whew!

I love them, too. The best ones are the Clover blue ones. They are super fine. And yes, they are sharp!

I bought some with a yellow flower head. I don't know what brand they were, but they are about as thick as a nail and not sharp at all. I got them for me DGD's sewing kit. I think the whole sewing machine would break if you sewed over them.The one's I have seen advertised are quite expensive. Some are $4.00 for 100, so I think I would be asking for them back too.

I think after reading all of these comments I am going to ask for these for Christmas!! I have been eyeing them for ahile now.

I'm in the love group too! Thinner and sharper than any I've used!

I love mine. They are the only ones that I use. Mostly because they are big enough that I can hold onto them. plus the pin itself is longer which is even a better plus. :) I've only melted one so far and it was some that I got at Walmart...but....I had not seen the pin and I had my iron sitting on it longer then I should have. :)You will like them.
