FAQs
How many pins are in the 300g box?
The box contains approximately 3100 pins.
What material are these pins made of?
They are manufactured from high carbon steel for added strength.
What is the length of each pin?
Each pin measures 27mm, which is approximately 1 inch.
Are these pins rust-proof?
While high carbon steel is durable, it can rust if exposed to moisture; keep them stored in a dry, cool place.
Can these be used for quilting?
Yes, they are suitable for general household and sewing tasks, including standard quilting applications.
Do these pins come with a storage container?
They are supplied loose in a bulk range box.
Troubleshooting
Pin is snagging the fabric during insertion.
Inspect the tip of the pin for any burrs or oxidation; discard any damaged pins immediately.
Pin bends when pushed through thick material.
Ensure you are using a straight piercing motion and avoid applying excessive side pressure; use fewer layers if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent value due to the high volume of pins per box
- High carbon steel ensures long-lasting durability
- Sharp points glide easily through most fabric types
- Uniform 27mm size is perfect for standard tailoring needs
Cons
- Supplied loose in a box, which can be messy if spilled
- Not intended for delicate silk or ultra-fine fabrics where thinner needles are required
- Lack of decorative heads makes them less visible against dark fabrics
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these pins arrive loose in a 300g bulk box, it is recommended to transfer them into a magnetic pincushion or a partitioned storage container upon opening.
Compatibility: They work best with medium-weight fabrics. If you are working with extremely fine synthetics or silks, test a small area first to ensure the pin gauge does not leave a visible hole.
Care: To maintain performance, store the pins in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation. If you notice a pin becoming dull or if it has been exposed to moisture, wipe it with a soft cloth and consider discarding it to avoid potential damage to your fabrics.
