I used the pins with the round white heads, and sometimes the yellow heads.

To be honest, I never gave much thought to it. I've never noticedd a problem with the pins after use, and since I insert them right at the binding seam, I've never seen any discoloration on the fabric. Granted, I never use white fabric.

I'm sure I bought them at Joann's, so they're either Dritz or that other co (name eludes me right now). I used them because I had them.
