Just read a book (maybe it was just writer's wishfull thinking?)
and her character used "fork" styled pins to keep seams together for matching up... Said they were kinda like a bobby pin - you stick one side on each of the sides of the seams and the seams don't shift when sewing... so seams/points match up.....? Can't find these magical pins... Anyone heard of these? Do you use? Thanks for the help!!! ;-) |

they are made by Clover.... Fork Pins #240

No, but I use very fine silk pins. I can even sew over the pins if I really don't want the matched seams to move.

I got a box about a month ago at my LQS. Sorry can't take a pic, don't have a camera. They were expensive and not all that sure they were worth it ! Came in a small box and were similar to a bobby pin but the 2 sides were parallel to each other, about 1/2 apart, intead of coming together like a bobby pin does.

Don't remember right off hand but i'll look and see if it'son the box when I go up to my sewing room tonight.

I also purchased these pins. Do not think they are as good as the extra fine glass head pins. Found them to be dull in comparison.

Thanks Ken for the pic!

you can get them cheap at jewelry supply under:'U PINS'
used for holding down jewelry, or florist supply also, those are longer though |
