I've tried so many pins on the market, including the way over priced Little House pins in the cute tin. I still keep returning back to Clover Patchwork pins. They slide into fabric silky smooth, so seams stay perfectly matched and don't get distorted by larger pins, causing mismatched seams. I was talked recently into trying Bohin pins . . .awful.

But if you order, don't make the same mistake I did and assume Patchwork Pins and Quilting Pins are the same . . .theyre not. Clover Quilting Pins are like pining with nails.

I use the blue glass head, they're the best

Thanks for all the info. I need some pretty bad.

I bought Karen KayBuckley pins and I love them. Pretty expensive but really sharp. I bought her scissors too and they are worth every penny I paid!

I'd like to find the thin, sharp pins with square glass heads. They don't roll away as readily as the ones with round heads.

Do you have one of those old tomato pin cushions? The little strawberry that is attached has stuff in it to keeps your pins sharp. Just poke a dull pin in it 3 or 4 times and its sharp again. It works, but they are hard to find now. I like the silk pins from Joanns. I like the ones that are 1.25" long.

dip the point of the pin in a candle. That doesn't sharpen the pin, but the pin will slide into fabric much more easily.

Add me to the list of Clover patchwork pin lovers. They're all I buy

I suggest silk pins~~ :)

I use the Dritz glass head quilting pins. They are very long and thin. Yes they do bend but they don't take much of a bite out of the fabric. When I found them I threw all my yellow headed pins away.
