Review on ⚙️ 100 Units Clover Extra Fine Patchwork Pins - Set of 2 Boxes | Article No. 2507 | Length: 1.5" | Glass Head Diameter: 0.4mm by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A thin patchwork needle does not deform the fabric even when fixing the points.

The right tool for every job. Sometimes I need a strong, standard needle for basting, but often I need a flexible, thin needle that won't pucker the fabric (one side slides over or under the other) when pinned. Thin pens work best for this. I have some thin blue-headed needles; However, plastic heads can bend/break off and melt when touched with an iron. These pens have glass heads that will not melt. They are flexible enough not to deform fabric, sharp and smooth enough to easily pierce fabric. The only downside I see is that they are shorter than regular quilting needles. I would have preferred longer needles, but they are quite satisfactory even when pinning matching stitches in four patches and similar patterns. They are not as strong as standard pins BUT this makes them ideal for fastening without deforming. And when used correctly, durability is not an issue.
