double ended pins

Oct 06, 2006 10 Replies

I saw someone using pins that had two sharp ends, made especially for holding open a seam. Has anyone used these? Do you know where I could get some?

Those are them. Boy! They are very expensive. Thanks.

Sometimes when I am determined to hold seams or points perfectly in place, I'll use tiny fine needles - they should work almost as well as the expensive double ended pins. I thread the wee little rascals with maybe 3 inches of bright thread so they're easy to keep up with. If one escapes I need to be able to find it before the Yorkie does. Polly

Great idea! thanks

In scanning messages... for some reason -- I read the header as Double Ended... ummm male anatomy... and wondered what the heck??? I didn't think Jan would send a message like that! and yes... I clicked to open it before I realized I had misread it!

Boy wouldn't Dr. Freud have fun with that one! Geesh... .there I go again -- I don't know if Freud would have fun with that or not....

I think I need to head upstairs... my brain is in a VERY strange place!

See you all tomorrow -- when I am clearer thinking I hope!!!!!

What a good idea! I've been known to baste nitpicky seams, rarely feel that particular though. Roberta in D

Too funny! Still chuckling over the misinterpretation.

Um, wouldn't touch that one with a 10-foot cigar. ;)

Naomi,

I was looking through my Connecting Threads catalog, and I found them on sale for $6.30.

NAYY, but I've always been happy with their service and products.

I found my pins at a LQS - Sunshine Sewing Company. A great place to go with lots of fabric. Of course I had to buy some Japanese prints, Well, more then some, but I love every single one of them.
