When you look for replacement pins, look for ones that say they are "nickel plated". They will slide through the fabric much easier, and do not rust.

I had several sets of pins, some I purchased and some were given to me. I realized that some slid through the fabric like a hot knife through butter, and others felt like they were coated in sandpaper. I looked carefully at the packages. The ones that slid like a hot knife were nickel plated.
