Ticket 21625 Do you recommend ballpoint pins for knits?
Dear Vera-lee,
Thank you for your patience. In response to your question-

ZJ, I wish you could share with us the name of that website you alluded to! I’m sure a number of us would love to know.
Hi Olivia. I hope you found the video to be both informative and helpful. I use Brewer as one of my supplies for my professional quilting business and have an account with them. To be honest, I am not sure what their policy is for selling to individuals. It may be worth looking into.
Thanks

I love the butterfly pins. They’re great when I’m sewing with several other sewers on projects. Finding my pins at the end is easy and everyone comments how cute they are!
