What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The title and product description specify 1-7/8-inch pins, while a separate item-length field says 1.83 Inches; the listing also calls the material both alloy steel and Metal Glass, and separately claims USA manufacture while listing Czech Republic as the country of publication. These details are inconsistent or do not confirm the same attribute; verify the size and origin details if they matter to your purchase.
Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Quilters and sewists looking for straight pins for basting or general fabric work.
- People who use pins with thin or slippery fabrics, based on the reported customer feedback.
