I love my new pins!
I got new pins today - the Clover patchwork pins fine. They're 0.4 mm in diameter, instead of the 0.5 mm of the pins I was using before. You wouldn't think it would make such a difference, but it really does! My pinning is much more accurate, there's much less 'pull' on my fabric, and my sewing accuracy is improved by this. So happy I decided to listen to the advice I got about this!

Thank you for the info!!!!!

Are these the ones with the flat "flower" head?
|
Pins are too inexpensive not to use the best. The flower head pins are thicker then I like to use but are useful in some pinning situations.
|
I have two of the magnetic pin trays, red and yellow. The red one has a family of "big 'uns" that I use on my working wall, or grouping 10 blocks together at a time so I can tell at a glance how far I've come or still need to go.
the yellow one has long fine pins in for patchwork, with glass heads so I can iron over them without getting a plastic gob :) |
More knowledge gleaned from you gals; thank's.
|
I decided to go and try these pins per your comment. They are coming in the mail.

those sound great. i use silk pins because they are so thin and have glass heads. sometimes, though, i need a longer one.
