[ATTACH=CONFIG]568047[/ATTACH]Clover pins will help you with matching your seams. I place a glass headed pin (they are thinner than regular pins) down the seam line, then insert one of these clover double pins down each side of the seam, removing the glass headed pin, and then sew the pieces together. The pins don't come with a bead on them, I put a bead on the pin, poured a tiny bit of "Fray Stop" into a dish and dipped in the pin with the bead on the bend, and put them into a pincushion to dry, and now when I drop them accidently on the floor I can find them easier. You can also sew over these thin pins - I do it carefully - this information per my last class instructor.
