Product Information
Full details
Ideal for crafters working with delicate fabrics, these Prym Brass Straight Pins offer precise and gentle material handling. Their key benefit lies in the rust-free brass construction and flat metal head, ensuring they don't damage fabric during penetration. A minor consideration is their specific size (0.60 x 18mm), which may not suit all fabric weights. This pack includes 1 x Prym - Prym Brass (0.60 x 18mm) Silver Headpins, designed for seamless integration into sewing and crafting projects.

Troubleshooting

Pins leaving marks on fabric.
Ensure the fabric is not overly delicate or sensitive to pressure. Test on a scrap piece first. Always insert and remove pins carefully.
Pins not holding fabric securely.
Ensure you are using enough pins for the area being secured and that they are inserted through a sufficient number of fabric layers.
