FAQs
What material are these pins made of?
The pins are made of stainless steel with an added plastic cap.
What size are the Prym Safety Nappy Pins?
These are size 4, measuring 55mm in length.
How many pins are in a pack?
Each pack contains 4 safety nappy pins.
Are these pins safe for direct use on babies?
While designed for baby clothing, they are primarily for dressmaking and securing fabric. For direct, unsupervised use on active infants, always ensure they are securely fastened and do not pose a choking or entanglement hazard.
Can I use these pins on thick fabrics like denim?
Yes, the 55mm length makes them suitable for holding together multiple layers or thicker fabrics during sewing projects.
How do I clean the pins?
Wipe them with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Store in a dry place.
What is the benefit of the plastic cap?
The plastic cap ensures extra comfort by preventing the metal pin from digging into the fabric or skin, and it helps protect delicate materials from snagging.
Troubleshooting
Pin does not close securely
Ensure the pin is not bent and the clasp mechanism is free of fabric threads. The pin may be damaged if bent severely.
Plastic cap feels loose
Handle the pin with care. If the cap is significantly loose or detached, the pin may need to be replaced for safety and comfort.
Pin leaves a mark on delicate fabric
Ensure the fabric is taut when pinning. Use a larger piece of scrap fabric as a buffer between the pin and the delicate material if concerned.
