Читать книгу Cathedral Window Quilts - Lynne Edwards - Страница 11

I could probably write a book on choosing the right pin for the right job. For all general pinning I use silk pins, which are fine and longer than the usual pins but still strong enough to stand up to pinning through several layers and even machining over them. For pinning the windows I use the shorter, fine appliqué pins so that the pins don’t extend beyond the centre area. I find that thicker pins cannot get through the layers without distorting the fabric, and glass-headed pins drive me mad as I keep getting the thread wound round the heads as I stitch. However, these may be your absolute favourite, so do use whatever you find most comfortable and efficient.
