Are they easier to sew the small pieces with than with the longer bead-headed pins?
Brushandneedle is right, they are easier. However, if you have any type of arthritis or if you have fibromyalgia and numb fingertips, they can be a bit hard to handle. And as I said, they aren't magnetic, which can be difficult if you drop one. They can hide in the darndest places!! I once kept scratching at my waist and wondering what the heck was poking at me. I finally managed to pull one of those tiny pins out of my waistband. :roll: Little bugger really gave me a run for my money. Lol. I bought mine when my local guild brought in Linda Jenkins. Here is her site, where she sells these tiny gems.
