I totally agree about the pins making a big difference while pinning patchwork. I started out with the serger pins when they first came out and have graduated to these pins for the glass heads. Love the control you get with them.

Thank you so much for posting this. I have been trying to find replacements for my 0.4 pins, but could only find 0.5 That little bit makes such a difference (for me anyway!) Now I know exactly what to search for.

I thought I had ordered these but when they came they said "quilting pin" and are .5mm. Where did you find them? Is there an online source as I don't have a source for good quilting supplies in my area.

Clover's quilting pins are not the same as their patchwork pins, although both come in "fine." I know amazon.com has the ones you're looking for. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Clover-Patchwo...patchwork+pins

It's not where I bought them (I live in the Netherlands), but even if you don't order them from Amazon, at least you'll know what you're looking for.

So happy I decided to listen to the advice I got about this!
I so agree - these are the only ones I use!!

i use the clover flower head pins extrea fine. they are blue with lighter blue on other side. Carol Doak suggested these for paper piecing. I have used them ever since. I have used the ones with yellow and blue glass head pins too but like the flower head ones better
