You are correct! That's what DH used the first time to get them on my pins a couple of years ago and it worked fine. He said they didn't work with these newest brass pins, nor did using a pointed dowel as the pin holder directions suggested. Ugh!
I worked with naked pins once - and I didn't like scratching my arms all up! :cry: Quite painful, but maybe I'm just a sensitive kind of quilter, lol.
