Quilt in a Day Forums

I guess I've tried every brand of pins there are. I like pins that don't bend. A dressmaker told me to try IRIS Superfein Stahlstecknadeln pins. I love theses pins. The are very sharp, leaves no holes, and hard to bend. Granted they have no big head on them but that hasn't bothered me at all since I bought the new Clover maganetic pin holder that makes picking up a single pin easier, on sale at QIAD.

I use silk pins. They are longer than the others and seem to go through fabric better, but they do bend. I'd like to try the Iris pins. Does QIAD carry them, if not, where could I get them?

Thanks for the info. I LOVE the magnetic pin holder/catcher.

The dressmaker sold me a tin out of her stock. It was $6.95 for a tin of 500. This should last me for years.

sunsup...www.quiltersresource.com has the Iris pins for $8.00 for the tin. Hope this helps.
