We use the long straight pins to pin the quilts to the leaders in the frame. They don't go in the middle of the quilt, just along the edges.
I replace mine when they get bent, I just can't stand getting stuck. I did that once and bled on the quilt, not good.
For piecing I just love the Clover piecing pins, but they are very thin and flexible and bend easily. But boy, are they easy to use.
