short pins got no reason to live!

Again with the sew pain!PictureMailMore sew pain!Sew pain!
recently, I discovered that short pins with small heads are of no use to me! they are difficult to see and don’t stick out as much as i’d like them too. they are also hard to grab onto. i prefer the longest of dress pins made out of stainless steel. they won’t melt if you need to iron your garment and they’re the perfect weapon against stubborn four-way stretch material that doesn’t want to be pierced. they also draw blood.
