Typically I dont write reviews. I thought I would for this product because I hope to help others like me. I was looking for pins to block with. I needed a lot. You take a risk when blocking with something that says it's "rustproof" because it could ruin hardworking. These pins are great. They are sharp, none were bent upon arrival (I used all of them), and they did not bend when I used. I've used them several times each, blocking with glue and water on white cotton crochet thread without an issue. Wish I could say the same for the other set I bought. The heads are the average size heads you would find on straight needles, although not very comfortable on the finders when pulling them out of the blocking boards (again, I used ALL of them). I will definitely buy another box so I don't run out in the middle of my project.

I bought these pins for my bobbin lace making craft. These pins are the perfect size as the head is not too big and it is the perfect length. There were a few pins that have blunt ends but given that there were so many pins it is not a big deal. The clear case that the pins are stored in is very sturdy plastic. Great product!

These are the perfect size, and strength for making no sew ornaments.I like them so much, I've ordered them twice.I highly recommend them for anyone who makes no sew ornaments.I found very few pins that couldn't be used.

I thought these pins would be easier for me to manipulate with my shaky hands. But I didn't think about them being cheaply made. They are too easily bendable, making them pretty useless for sewing any fabric other than thin cotton or polyester. I'll go to JoAnn Fabrics and buy "real" pins.

The needles seem not sharp as I’ve used it for patterns and poly cotton which is quite thin. These didn’t pierce the fabric clean and ended making runs throughout my shirts. I say 70% were dull and the rest was ok. Wouldn’t recommend for expensive fabrics.
