Dritz Quilting 3032 Curved Safety Pins for Large Projects, Bonus Pack, Size 1, Nickel, 300 Count

A quilters handy friend, that's what the durable safety pins are. Their design is perfect for quilt basting to holding up a hem in a pinch. The sharp points go through different fabrics with ease and are the perfect size for many needs. They are sturdy and they shape is easy to use. Compatible with cottons to velvets. Happy I found these great safety pins!

If you've never worked with curved pins, getting the hang of handling them (especially one-handed) can be a trick. These Dritz pins are sturdy, well-made, sharp, and they open and close relatively easily. With the method I initially used for this, I rubbed a blister into one finger that first day (because I basted a crib-sized quilt at 3-inch intervals), but it quickly calloused and was no problem for continuing with the use of these pins. I will probably also get better at using them with time too...so I don't hold this against the pins. :)I think the value was good for what I got, and I'll be using these for many years. It's so nice not to use straight pins any more, as I lap quilt and would end up with a good number of jabs and lost pins before I got these. These curved pins made basting go about twice as fast, because I could essentially "scoop" the pin through the layers, and kept everything in place as I did my rough and fine hoop-based quilting.

I love these pins. I sell my kiddos clothes in a large pop up consignment sale where I have to hang/tag my clothing. These pins are sturdy and I don’t have to worry about them breaking or popping off. They are sharp and easy to apply. I like that they aren’t flimsy, but are thick and have a smooth bend. I will say, it takes a little effort to squeeze and open them so if you have to apply a ton of them, just be aware that these are heavy duty.

They are excellent! Use with the wood tool to save your nails (amazing!). I did have to throw away a handful that where broken or unusable so ranked it 4 out of 5 stars.

they're a good size, no trouble opening or closing them

This company knows how to make safety pins that don't snag and are sharp. I wasted my money on pins from another company and every one of them snagged. As an avid quilter, after spending hundreds of dollars on fabric, patterns and batting I am confident that all my work will be safe with the Dritz pins.

Worked great to baste a large quilt. Made it much easier to baste on a wood floor where I had a slippery surface for the pins to glide on. However, if you have to baste on a carpeted floor, these may not work for you. I only did that once, but the pins got stuck to the carpet and I had to take multiple ones out and re-pin. Since I don't like to baste on carpet anyways (hard to get everything straight) I still gave this 5 stars. Love these pins.

useful

These are really good quality - really sharp and heads close easily. They go through the fabric easily and every one I’ve used had a really shaped point. I like the size too, not to small which can be fiddle and not too big to be bulky and damage the fabric.I mention these things as I bought another brand on amazon and half the box I had to throw away as they were blunt and the heads were tight so difficult to close.Not with these though they are excellent quality and well worth the money.

Good quality pins, however I think this size is a bit too small for quilting projects.

adorei por seu tamanho não atrapalhar enquanto estou fazendo o quilting

Das ist jetzt schon meine zweite Packung der Quilt-Sicherheitsnadeln, weil ich nun ein sehr großes Top damit geheftet habe. Dadurch, dass sie gebogen sind, lassen sie sich einfacher verwenden und es entsteht auch kein "Stofffrass" an der Wendel. Im letzten Paket hatte ich nur eine einzige Nadel, bei der die Spitze nicht ganz in Ordnung war. Das ist rekordverdächtig wenig, wenn man bedenkt, dass 300 (!) Stück in einer Packung sind.Ich mag diese Sicherheitsnadeln wirklich sehr gern und finde sie unverzichtbar zum Heften.

Estan un poco chuequitos pero sirven la lo que son
