    Default Straight but Bent

    My last two purchases of straight pins have been aggravating.
    They were Dritz brand. The first bent and broke and I blamed
    faulty batch. The next did the exact same thing. Perhaps
    this is just a fluke to have back to back bad pins.


    Anyone recommend a brand?

    What size pins are they? Some of the finer pins are more prone to bending over time. I use Clover Brand and have been very happy with them. Never cared for the Dritz Brand products, always seemed to be poor quality.

    I have to agree that Dritz brand seem to be poorer quality them the flower head pins. I have used the flower head pins for years. I haven’t bought new ones for years so I cannot recommend a brands since they may have changed as well.

    I mostly use the long glass head pins but I can't remember the brand. They eventually do bend, as the are very fine but I love them. I also like Clover flower head pins.

    I just about my first order of glass head pins. I am sure they will be much better than what I have been using.

    I"m currently using pins I've had for ages. I have no idea what brand they were, but they are long and I like them. I have a ton of pins that I bought at an estate sale for 50 cents. I'm going to start using those next. We'll see how they work.
