Questions & Answers
My original intention when purchasing these pins was to purchase a different style of pin, but I was not able to find one I liked. I bought these pins so I could wear them. This pin set has been a great purchase for me. These are the tools I use to quilt. When I am piecing my fabrics together, I sew over them so they don't show. wish they were longer but I will continue to buy them in the future as long as they are not overpriced. Since they are thin, I have not had as much trouble with them breaking if they hit the needle, but as with all pins, if they hit the needle, they can bend. The pins will be excellent for quilting, if that is what you intend to use them for.
In the same way I keep all my good pins in their original containers, I also keep the pins in their original packaging. there will be a mix, but that is fine.
Since I haven't pinned six layers of fabric, I won't be able to tell, but I really think they would bend as they are too soft.
They are very thin and easily bent, but I do not know what gauge they are. My favorite use for them is to hold delicate pieces in place for my fabric collages, but I find them too thin for normal pinning to work.

It's necessary to use the correct tool to complete the task. It isn't necessary for me always to use a stiff, standard piecing pin when pinning, but I frequently use a flexible, thin pin that won't cause the fabric to distort (sliding one side higher or lower than the other). The best pins for this are thin ones. There is a blue flower in my hand - Those who use thin-headed pins While the heads are plastic, they can break or snap off, and even melt if they are touched by an iron. Glass heads on these pins do not melt and are flexible enough not to distort the fabric, while keeping their sharp edges and smooth surfaces to easily penetrate the fabric. They are shorter than ordinary quilting pins, and I think that might be their only downside. It would have been more convenient to have a longer pin, but even when pinning matching seams in four-holes, these work well A pattern or pattern similar to a patch. The reason they are less durable is to prevent distortion, but this also makes them a great pin. Moreover, the durability of the product does not pose a problem if used properly.
I can't believe it! What a great idea! This great little needle is so fine and delicate that it slips through your fabric very easily and Since they bend more easily than most pins, they are more prone to breaking. Believe me, you won't have a care in the world! They are the best quilting supplies I've found so far.
Patchwork pieces call for these pins, which are expensive, but are perfect for putting together patchwork. The glide into the fabric smoothly and do not distort it. Their construction makes them easy to use and they won't melt when touched by an iron.
It is easy for me to pin while watching TV and then sew the pieces together as quickly as possible when I do small patchwork. My sewing process includes removing the pins as I go. The long length is nice to me and the fineness of these is nice.
Quilting and sharp pins are two of my favorite things. Since these are supposed to be extra fine, I wasn't expecting them to be very sharp. Some worked great, but with others, it was like trying to force a nail through.
Having used a set of extra-fine Dritz glass pins, it is easy to conclude that these Clover pins, which are also extra fine, are even finer. While the metal portion seems to be half the diameter of the Dritz, the length is about the same. Although they are very thin, we will have to wait to see how they hold up, but they are very easy to work with in fabric. They would be good to have on hand if you have to work with fine or thin fabric. There are blue glass heads as well as yellow glass heads on the pins, and they are quite beautiful, but they are transparent, and I am not sure how well I will be able to see them as I stitch and am pulling pins out. A very easy way to identify Dritz white heads is by their white heads. The first time I dropped one of these Clover pins on the carpet, I had to use a flashlight to get it out. Depending on your sewing needs, here are some pros and cons. There is no doubt that these pins are high quality. It would be a bad idea to use these types of fabrics if you usually sew denim or upholstery fabrics. You might want to give them a try if you sew knits, silks, or sheer fabrics.
After reading the reviews, I bought 2 boxes of these pins. I really liked that they were made with glass heads so they wouldn't melt when ironing. In my experience, these pins bend easily, but reviews were positive, so I decided to purchase them for quilting. This pin would be good for regular sewing, and I will have to get another type for quilting.
I'm on my hands and knees. I have tested every single pin out there and I can assure you, these are the best for piecing quilt blocks. The price of these pins is so much lower than the average that I would throw away all the hundreds of other pins I own This is a good buy. It is worth the money to have them, because they glide easily through fabric and are of good quality. It's a guarantee that I'll be buying more and recommending them to friends who quilt.
