Pins and Safety Pins

Using the right pins can make the job so much easier. Here you can find a variety of different types of pin for your dressmaking and craft projects.

A brief guide to choosing pins:

• For piecing, use the flat Flowerhead pins. They glide under the needle of the sewing machine better than pins with rounded heads.
• If you think you will need to press your fabrics with the pins in situ, use Glasshead pins rather than pins with plastic heads. The glass heads don't melt if touched by the hot plate of the iron.
• For applique, try the tiny little applique pins. These hold patches in place with minimum risk of threads getting tangled around them as you hand stitch around the applique shapes.
