Pins

This page gathers every pin at Hobianna: Milward stainless steel pins 25 g (about 300; fine, mark-free, iron-safe) and white plastic-head pins in a box of 200 (easy to see, practical for patterns and stabilizer). Pins fix patterns and hems in sewing, join patchwork blocks, hold designs and stabilizer in embroidery and block and frame cross stitch. Branch selections are under Sewing, Embroidery and Cross Stitch; pincushions and holders in Needle Accessories.

Which Pin for What?

Milward steel pins hold silk, lining and fine fabric without marks, can stay under the iron and never rust in damp blocking; white-head pins are chosen for heavy fabric, patterns and stabilizer thanks to their visibility, and come out before ironing. Pin at right angles to the seam and remove before the presser foot; a magnetic pincushion stops scattering. Store dry.
