Just make sure you get LONG pins, not short pins, or you'll be pinning for days!
Yes, I use the flower pins....but I do know of some who staple onto the leaders, then use one of those staple pullers from office supply to remove........then there are those red snappers.......... I personally couldn't get the zipper concept....I am old school and use the pins......for over 10 yrs.... Your fingers will naturally try to stay our of the way...put your left hand behind, do a two in/out moving fingers as you go....no bleeding.
