mine are used when i load a quilt on the frame (attaching quilt to leaders) to quilt. i could not function without my long quilters pins i use between 200 & 300 of them at a time loading a quilt. i thought that's what they are for, i've been using them for this for years now

So what are we supposed to be using them for, does anyone know? I use them now to hold fabric to the back of my little fabric bolts.
