I use them for everything....can't stand the shorter ones with the tiny flat heads. When I'm piecing, I just pull one out at a time ahead of my sewing.... They are easier to find when there is a stray than the others too. I put them in at a right angle to the seam I'm sewing (with the yellow head sticking off the fabric and then pin double stuck into the fabric) so if I miss one and sew over it, no big deal.

The so-called "quilters' pins" with the large yellow heads are not meant for piecing at all - you should use a finer and more flexible pin for that job. The yellow ones are really meant more for the layering and basting process.

The only pins I ever use are the glass head pins that are very thin. The yellow ones are too thick for me. I have some, but never use them. They are pretty if you make a pin cushion and give it away with a few pins on it.
