Double Straight Pins
While watching a video the other day I came across a woman who was matching seams then quilting. She used double straight pins to pin where two seams intersect and she claimed this helped her to match seams more accurately. I like to have my seams match perfectly and I am wondering if these pins might be a help to me as well. I am wondering if others on the forum might use these pins for that purpose and if you thought this improved your sewing and made it easier to match the seams. I have tried to nest the seams as suggested but I feel that I still need further help. I somehow find myself avoiding quilts that call for matching the seams. Your comments would be appreciated. I am asking about pins that are more or less hairpin shaped and not referring to two pins placed together. I did not know about these pins until I researched after watching the video.
