following along, as I realized yesterday I need some pins that aren't so LONG as the ones I have now, but no idea what kind to get. Will watch here and see what everyone says (sorry I"m no help, though!)

You must ask St Anthony to help you find your pins! it always works for me.

i use few types
with flat head for paper piecing.
other type is
long i think 1.5 " and .4 thick, with glass head (i think only orange and green colors)
T pins for hanging blocks on the design wall as well.
good luck

I seem to have lost my pins in my pincushion and a box of flower head pins as well. I think I even bought silk pins for a class I was taking. Since my sewing supplies are all over my search isn't complete until I cover bags I took to classes etc. (Wish there was a way of triggering a survey on this site or a poll)
So I was wondering what kind to buy to replace what I can't find. Any ideas???
