I know, how can pins be a game changer you say. Let me tell you these are! I struggled with all kinds of pins, bought too many and have a lot of them sitting around collecting dust. None of them were what I needed in one package. They needed to be sharp, strong and able to stand up to the iron. I even have some of those magical pins every one loves. None of them put it all together, until now! These pins glide through fabric, even unreasonable amount of layers of fabric. They are strong too. Putting them through those unreasonable amount of layers they didn't bend or break and they glide right through. They are glass heads so you can iron over them and the heads aren't big so they don't leave those divots in your fabric that some others do. The small head size might be a downfall for some. These are expensive, but they are way worth it for me.
