Troubleshooting
Pins are bending or breaking
Ensure you are using the pins on appropriate fabric weights. For very thick or tough materials, consider specialized heavy-duty pins. Store pins properly to maintain their integrity.
Rust appears on pins
Store pins in a dry environment and ensure the container is sealed. If minor rust is present, try cleaning with a soft cloth. Significant rust may indicate the pin is no longer suitable for use.
Pins are difficult to insert into fabric
Check that the fabric is not too dense for the pin size. Ensure the pin point is sharp and not damaged. Try inserting at a slight angle if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These pins do not require any setup. They are ready to use straight from the bulk box.
Compatibility:
Compatible with all types of woven fabrics. While suitable for most general sewing, they may be too large for extremely delicate fabrics like silk chiffon or very fine knits, where smaller, finer pins might be preferred to avoid damage or visible holes.
Care:

- Keep the storage container closed when not in use.
- Handle with care to avoid accidental pricks.
- If rust spots appear, clean gently with a soft cloth; severe rust may compromise the pin's integrity.
