These pins have blunt ends – very useful for knit fabrics and stretchy fabrics – these would not cause snags. These pins can be used for basting large areas like quilts, upholstery sewing. Sometimes you need long sturdy pins that will hold thick layers of fabric together- these are like that. Upholstery pins /Extra long and thick pins Very useful when you do not want holes on extra fine fabrics. These very thin and fine pins are used for delicate fabrics, thin and lightweight fabrics.
3.Extra fine pins/silk pins Fine pins for delicate fabrics This is useful when holding open/loose weave fabrics – no chance of the pinhead slipping through the weave. These pins have a big flat button as their head. The heads may be heat-resistant or maybe they are not – so be careful when you press. You can get these pins in different head colors, finishes (metallic/pearlized) but they all do the same work – Pin layers of fabric together while you do the important job of sewing cutting, etc. These are sharp thin pins with glass heads they are used for pinning medium-weight woven fabrics when sewing. 7.Upholstery tacks/T pins/ Tidy pins/bed skirt pins/Twist pinsġ.General All-purpose sewing pins Regular Basting pins.Different types of Pins useful in sewing.Do you have a regular pin cushion? I went for a magnetic one. But of course we need something to keep our pins in, keep them close to hand and stop them dropping on the floor. When I'm not using my Wonder Clips, these flower head pins are usually my go-to solution. Make sure to use glass head pins in any project where you might touch them with an iron. (Not that I would ever do that of course – wink). Any pins with plastic heads can melt if you iron over them, and the plastic can stick to your iron in a nasty burny way. Much longer again, large colorful heads, easy to pick up, the longer length is great for thicker layers such as for bag making. Next in my discovery of the range of sewing pins, I found these flower head pins. They are also a bit longer than the budget pins, have a larger head and are easier to see. The ball point pins aren't so sharp, have more of a rounded point for slipping between the fibers of knit fabrics rather than piercing them.
I first bought these ball point pins for working with knit fabrics. I quickly discovered that having better pins makes sewing easier.

For a start, these are OK, but they are pretty small, hard to see or easy to miss and therefore sew over by mistake, hard to find it you drop them on the floor, and while they do the job on most projects, they aren't good for thick layers because they are too short, and well, they just aren't nice to look at. They got me started, but I soon realised there is a LOT more to pins. You can often find the same box in your sewing notions section at the supermarket – these are about as budget as they come! Pretty cheap, about $2 for the box, just your standard economy pins. When I first started out, I bought this box of sewing pins at my local sewing store.
