Glass Head Sewing Pins | 35 mm | 175-Piece Set

A beautiful everyday pin for sewing, quilting, appliqué, and careful fabric work.

This 175-piece set of Heirloom Quality Brand Glass Head Pins includes fine 35 mm pins made from nickel-plated steel with classic red and white glass heads. They are slim enough for precise fabric placement, yet sturdy enough that they do not bend as easily as many finer pins.

At 35 mm long, these pins offer a lovely working length — long enough to hold fabric securely without feeling awkward or bulky. They glide smoothly in and out of woven fabrics, making them a useful staple for your sewing basket, quilting supplies, or studio worktable.

Why I Love Them

These pins have become one of those small tools I genuinely enjoy reaching for.

They glide beautifully through fabric, which makes pinning feel smoother and more controlled. I also really like the 35 mm length. I often find 1" pins a little too short for comfortable sewing, especially when working with layers or larger pieces, and these give just a bit more room to hold things securely.

They are fine without feeling fragile, and despite their slim shape, I have found they do not bend as easily as some other fine pins I have used.

The glass heads are also heat-resistant, which makes them especially useful when pressing nearby seams or working at the ironing board.

A Helpful Tip

The red and white glass heads are not only pretty — they can also make your pins easier to see while you work.

Use the red pins on lighter fabrics and the white pins on darker fabrics so they stand out clearly against your project. This makes it easier to spot every pin before sewing, helping you avoid accidentally stitching over one.

You can also use the two colours as simple markers, such as one colour for starting points and the other for stopping points, or to separate left and right pieces while you work.

A Dependable Pin for the Worktable

A good pin should feel easy to use, hold fabric securely, and come out smoothly when it is time to stitch. These glass head pins are a practical, polished choice for everyday sewing and more careful fabric work alike.

A lovely addition to your sewing basket, quilting pouch, project kit, or studio drawer.
