Straight Pins with numbers on the heads, where to get?
 

Hello, don't know if I saw it here or where but I'm looking to buy the straight pins with numbers on the heads for keeping my rows straight. Plus I have a bargello on the "TO DO" list soon and I know those pins would come in handy keeping the rows of strips straight. Does anyone know where I might find them?

Thanks to anyone and everyone with their advice.

I use these all the time.

They are expensive! I'm happy enough with pinning a note on, but I'm thinking also that you can get kids' beads with numbers on them, which could be threaded onto a safety pun. (They are sold for making bracelets with messages)

I made my own using flowers head pins and those round stickers bought at an office supply store. Put the number on one---stick that on the front---put another on the back. The pins must have a flat head to be successful. The stickers are about the size of a nickel and different colors.

I wrote on my flat flower head pins with a fine point sharpie.

Not really answering the question here, but I have a comment on pins and a Bargello. I found that using those garage sale size price stickers worked really well for me when I was making Bargellos. Just in case that helps anyone...

I did this TOO !! You could have bought them last Sunday at 70% off at JAF. I have done many bargello and this works best for me. You can also cut 3/4" squares from scraps of fabric and number them to and pin them at the top of rows.

Some great ideas here to save money and make it easy to keep track of strips. Gotta save.
