I do like them, because they lay flat :D:D:D |

I use them for holding binding and to hold the sandwich together when I tie my quilts. Use the finer pins for piecing.

Yeh, I started with these too. Now as mentioned I use them to pin my wrapped fabric. I also use them to pin my backings to the frame.

I threw out my yellow head quilting pins after I discovered the glass head silk pins.
|
I use them for living up the OBW's because they don't move and they keep the fabric from slipping.

They are for securing your back and batting to the front but I like them for everything even seamstress work.
|
Being disabled (only my left arm works) I tend to pin EVERYTHING (or scotch tape) they're my second hand. PP the church block was a real challenge I could not have done without pins & tape.
|
I use my yellow headed pins for everything. But recently, when in a hurry I grabbed a package and when I got home, found that I had bought the ball point pins, which are really not good for anything but sewing knits.

I use mine.
