I bought mine at Walmart also, but the first ones I bought there came stuck in a circle of paper, skip those. Look at the heads, if they appear thin and cheap, so are the pins. I buy the ones that are extra long and in a bubble pack. I like long pins because they are easier to remove as I get to them while sewing because I pin at right angles to the seam I am sewing. I also keep them in a pincushion made of wool with sand in the bottom to keep them sharp.
