The Red Pin


Just a quick sewing tip before I head back to the grind stone.


90 % of the glass head pins in my pin cushions are white. Somewhere along the way I picked up a package of glass head pins in a variety of colors. I know you are saying right now "Okay, but what is the sewing tip?"


I have found that it helps me if I place a colored straight pin in the critical areas that I am pinning together. In this photo my critical point is a seam line of a waist band that I am matching to the seam line of a skirt. This reminds me to slow down and pay attention and get it exact.


I hope you have a great day! ~janet

  1. Great tip! Thanks. Now, try to remember where you got them so we can all be ready for "slow down" spots.
