I love them! I don't like the short pins.

So glad you asked this . My big yellow ones are so dull they bend before going through layers. The I throw it out!! I will buy additional ones !!!

I use mine for when I'm working on binding. Have also found myself using them more often than not when piecing blocks together.

I like them, but I have also stuck one into the palm of my hand, they are very thin and very sharpe.

I like the flat headed ones because you can use them with rulers. The round headed pins don't work with your rulers because they don't lay flat.

I guess I started using them from the beginning and really like them. They are the only kind I use. Send yours my way....I always have room for one more.

I have those too but as I've gotten better at sewing and learned to pay more attention to things I don't use them when I need more precision. I use the thin silk pins. I also pin like this... / \ / \ / \ I find that the ease in fabric pushes against the pins and my seams are more even. When I pin any other way my seams are off...its what works for me.

Like and use them, easier to spot, could use a sharpener :) on a few if they seem like getting dull or hung up on something have been known to run it across a really fine emery board, seems to smooth them out.

Great on the rollers!!! LOL have ran over them, didn't kill the machine, or needle :) (knock on wood)

I have been using the longer yellow pins in my regular sewing for many years. My older fingers need a bigger 'weapon' to hit the fabric target!
