Pins
 

What kind of pins do you use for piecing? Do you have a special brand that you love???

I've been using the general round head pins you buy at Joanne's, but my supply of non-bent ones is getting small and I'm thinking of buying something special!

Clover has some flower head pins that I love. The ones with the blue flowers are extra fine and glide through the quilting cotton fabric. I purchased them at Joanns with a coupon but haven't seen them lately.

I also have the yellow clover flower pins that are good. All brands are not the same. I wasted money when I purchased a generic brand.

I use regular glass head pins. I don't like quilting pins, they're too long, too big, have plastic heads and bend easier. I melted one pressing and luckily was able to peel it off my project without ruining it.

I love the extra fine ones, I pin everything all the time.

The ones tallchick linked to are the ones I use for most everything. I love those pins.

Clover glass head pins which are essentially the same as silk pins

i use silk pins. they are thinner and do not distort the fabric as much as the longer, thicker ones. yes, they bend more often, but they are cheap enough to replace when needed

Hands down, Clover patchwork pins. Yellow and blue glass heads.

I use Dritz 100 Crystal Glass Head Pins from J's. Half the heads are yellow and half the heads are blue. Love them. They are long and thin and don't take a big "bite" out of the fabric. Yes they bend when you leave one in too long and the presser foot runs over them but I try not to do that anyway.
