Pins for Sewing

Pins are the basic tool for holding fabric pieces before sewing: fixing patterns, turning hems, joining patchwork blocks and fittings. This category carries Milward 25 g steel pins and white-head pins in a box of 200, both stainless, fine-tipped and mark-free. All pins are in Pins; pincushions and magnetic holders in Needle Accessories.

Which Pin for Which Job?

Milward steel pins hold fine fabric, lining and silk without marks; boxed white-head pins are easy to see for pattern fixing, patchwork and general sewing. Pin at right angles to the seam and remove before the presser foot; a magnetic pincushion stops them scattering. Store dry to prevent rust.
