The humble pin is not to be taken for granted. It holds layers of fabric in place for us to sew them together. Our bags have several layers of structure, so each pin may slide through six layers at a time.
We favor the long pins used by quilters, rather than the small short pins used by dressmakers. The quilt pins have large yellow heads and are thick and strong. Below is a sad picture of the state our pins were in recently. Having served us well, they were bent, twisted and ready to retire.
