Opry Coloured Glass Head Pins — what they are and what they are used for
Opry Coloured Glass Head Pins combine fine steel shafts with multicoloured glass heads that are easy to see on fabric. With a diameter of 0.6 mm and a length of around 34 mm — stated by the manufacturer as about 10% longer than comparable models — they provide extra reach without sacrificing precision. The sharp point makes it easy to pierce layers in garments, quilts or accessories, while the rigid head improves grip when handling the piece. Each box contains 100 pins, suitable for marking, tacking and temporary holding during cutting and sewing.
In daily use, their 0.6 mm thickness strikes a balance between delicacy and strength: fine enough not to leave marks on most fabrics, yet rigid enough to keep pieces aligned without bending easily. The glass head improves visibility and makes it easy to retrieve pins from a cushion or cutting mat. They are a practical and affordable solution for workshops, classes and home sewing kits, offering consistent performance for repetitive projects and quick adjustments on a dress form or work table.
How to use Opry Coloured Glass Head Pins
For reliable results with Opry Coloured Glass Head Pins, work on a stable surface and insert pins diagonally to the edge to distribute tension across the fabric. In fine or delicate fabrics, slide the shaft between threads without forcing; in multiple layers, use more pins at shorter intervals to prevent shifting. Use a pin cushion or magnetic holder to organise colours and lengths, and always remove pins before the presser foot passes to protect the machine needle.
Choose these 0.6 mm pins as a versatile option: they work well on cottons, linings and most garment fabrics. If very dense fabric resists, increase spacing between pins or supplement with clips; if it is very loose, pin on the bias for better hold without distorting the weave. Keep points sharp; replace bent pins or those with burrs to avoid snags and marks. At the end, count the pins to make sure none are left in the garment.
