One big difference is what type pins you are using--the less expensive "regular" pins tend to be bigger around--if you are using "fine" pins, it is a lot easier to sew over them and NOT hit them with your needle. Even among my quilting pins, the size of the shank varies--I've learned which ones are the thins and those are what I reach for. I am slowly weeding out the "big" pins. They are good for holding things on my bulletin board, etc., just not so good for quilting.
