100-Count Dritz 27 Ball Point Pins, 1-1/4 Inch Review

Nice pins. Quite small - a little hard for me to grasp. I don't have any joint issues, just seem to prefer a larger head pin.

These straight pins are perfect for working on small projects, sharp will penetrate 3 layers of cotton fabric easy, the ball head is just the right size

I thought the heads on the pins were going to be larger. The one on the top is what I have and thought I was getting and the one on the bottom is what I got. They'll work but will be harder to handle.

This review is for Dritz 75-Piece Long Ball Point Pins by Prym Consumer USA.Purchased these to replace old pins that were bending and had too small of heads. The heads of these are great because you can't lose them in the material, nor are they difficult to pull out while using the sewing machine. Never had a problem with these and they are pretty sturdy. The little plastic container box is very convenient for keeping. Am very pleased with these and have used these for quite some time now and…

Omg, these are SO long. I wasn’t expecting the shortest ones to be this long. Yikes. I poke myself every time I use them in my mask making. I’ll be on the hunt for shorter ones (quilting ones).

These pins are ok but several pin heads have pulled off when removing from fabric. Then hard to grab and remove when have arthritis in your hands

I was looking for ball POINT pins for pinning knit fabrics. They have a colored ball on the end of the pin, but the point is not a ball point pin. Need to change description.

The ball point separates the fibers on knits so you won’t get snags that can happen with regular sewing pins. I’ve labeled my box "for knits” andcwill keep them separate from my other pins.

After reading all the reviews of straight pins on revain & going round & round, I was was totally confused. But I just received these & they're great. A little longer than standard length straight pins, which is what I wanted. I've handled about half of the 75 pins, & all are perfect. They have plastic heads, but that's not a problem, since I wouldn't iron over pins anyway.

Like the longer length and always prefer ball point because I sew a lot with knits! Can use ball point pins on woven but not regular point pins on knits and I double up containers and repurpose the empties! I will pay more for dritz because I trust them, though I can’t always find GLASS ball tops! Have gotten spoiled and do not want to use pins without them!

I tried to use these pins for knit fabric when laying out a pattern, and they're so dull it was hard to get them to go through the fabric. They wouldm't pierce the tissue paper pattern at all. I threw them away and got regular, longer pins in a different brand that work beautifully for everything.

Having the beads on one end make them easy to pick up. However, they do bend more easily than the older ones. Pins have gotten pretty expensive - I’d feel better about paying that amount if they lasted longer.
