I buy these with my 40-50% off coupons, love them.

I use the Dritz glass headed pins they are very thin, but sturdy, and I paint all the glass heads with dark blue nailpolish, so I can readily see them when sewing. I purchase them from Amazon, and they came in a tin box, which I like. You can get them in two sizes 1 3/8 or 1 7/8, my Bernina sews over them as well, if I miss taking one from the fabric.

The very fine glass head pins are great, they cost more but are really good for piecing

I use fine shaft glass head. The thinner the shaft the less distortion you get when piecing. And no holes in the fabric.

Just a reminder, there are 2 notions areas in the Joanns stores. The 'regular' notions area and a quilter's notion area. In the larger stores, most items are in both locations, but the smaller stores may only have the specific quilter's names items in the quilter's notion area. (It is in the area right next to the Keepsake Calico Cotton fabric.)

These are the ones that I use as well. I don't use anything else. They have different lengths.

Okan Arts' current offering has a discussion with photos of all Clover pins--you might find it useful. It's an interesting quilting site; worth signing up for.
