Do Straight Pins Take "breaking-in" before they are sharp???
I know this sounds crazy, but the Clover extra fine (.4 mm I believe) straight-pins I have that I just opened up (bought it at least 8 to 12 months ago) are really, really dull. I am having to use an amazing amount of force to get them to go through my 2 layers of fabric. I have used this exact brand and type of pins for the past few years and I don't specifically remember them being this dull at first (but, my memory is very unreliable these days so I can't be sure).
Please tell me with use, they will become "sharper"???
