FAQs

What is a sewing pin used for?

A sewing pin is a versatile tool used in various aspects of sewing and crafting for temporarily holding fabric or materials together before they are permanently joined. Here are some of the common uses of a sewing pin:
Holding Fabric Together: It’s often used to hold two or more layers of fabric together before they are sewn. This helps ensure that the fabric doesn't shift and that seams and edges align properly.
Pattern Placement: When using a pattern to cut fabric, pins can secure the pattern to the fabric, ensuring accurate cutting and minimizing movement.
Marking Adjustments: It can also mark alterations on garments, such as hemlines, darts, or other adjustments, before making permanent alterations.
Quilting: In quilting, pins are used to hold layers of fabric and batting together before they are quilted.
Crafting: Beyond sewing, pins are useful in various crafts for holding materials in place temporarily.
Detail Work: For delicate or intricate sewing tasks, pins help in positioning trims, appliqués, or other decorative elements.

Our collection includes pins of various lengths, thicknesses, and materials to suit different fabrics and purposes. From fine silk pins ideal for delicate fabrics to sturdy quilting pins capable of handling multiple layers, JM Embroideries has the right pin for every project.

What sewing pins are best?

The best sewing pins for your project depend on the type of fabric you're working with and the specific needs of your project. Here’s a rundown of popular types of sewing pins and their best uses:

Glass Head Pins: These are heat resistant, making them ideal for projects involving ironing. The glass head won't melt under the heat of an iron, and they're easy to see and handle.
Plastic Head Pins: Similar to the above in use but with plastic heads, these are not suitable for ironing over but are easy to handle and see. They come in a variety of lengths and thicknesses for different fabrics.
T-pins: Named for their T-shaped head, these are strong and can be used for heavy or bulky fabrics. They’re also popular in crafting and for holding wigs in place on wig blocks.
Safety Pins: Are designed with a clasp mechanism that locks the pin point away, providing a secure hold without the risk of poking or injuring the user. They are incredibly versatile and not only useful for temporary fixes or adjustments on garments but also for threading through casings (like elastic bands or drawstrings), securing quilting layers before sewing, and even in fitting sessions to quickly pin fabric together. Safety pins come in various sizes, making them suitable for a wide range of fabrics and thicknesses.

When choosing sewing pins, consider:

Fabric Type: Delicate fabrics require finer pins, while heavy or layered fabrics may need longer, stronger pins.
Project Needs: Some projects may benefit from easily visible options (like glass head or brightly colored plastic head ones), or heat-resistant, if ironing is involved.
Personal Preference: Some sewists prefer larger heads for ease of handling, while others may prioritize length or strength.

Always test it on a scrap piece of your project fabric to ensure they glide smoothly without snagging or leaving noticeable holes. Investing in quality products from reputable brands can make a significant difference in your sewing experience and the outcome of your projects.
