They remind me of the hairpins that we used to use as teenagers to keep our hair up in French Curls & the French Twists! Alot of you will remember those!! Back in the 60's & 70"s!!! LOL Course the hairpins probably wasn't as sharp. I have never used the ones for sewing.

I think they've been around a little while, and I've seen them in LQS, and thought of getting some to pin layers to carpet for layering,
but never bought nor used them.
How do they work out, anyone used them?

I purchased these fork pins and did not like them. They bend too easy so I don't use them very often.

I bought some of these fork pins a while back...I have better luck with fine glass-head pins.

Well...Doesn't look like anyone likes these, so guess I will pass on getting them!

Maybe I should just SLOW down when sewing!!!???
Not going 100 miles an hour, I might match them up better! :lol:

Thanks everyone!
