Clover Quilting Pins 2508 – 0.6mm × 48mm, 100 pcs

Long, sturdy pins designed specifically for quilting — at 48mm they're long enough to pin through a full quilt sandwich of top, batting, and backing and still have enough pin to grip. The 0.6mm shaft is thicker than patchwork or silk pins, which gives them the rigidity to hold multiple dense layers flat without bending. Sharp point pierces through cleanly, and the glass head won't melt under an iron. Comes in a closable case.

FAQ

What is the difference between Quilting Pins and Patchwork Pins (SKU 232)? Quilting Pins are longer (48mm vs 36mm) and thicker (0.6mm vs 0.5mm) — built to hold through the full thickness of a quilt sandwich without bending. Patchwork Pins are finer and shorter, better suited for precision piecing on the flat rather than pinning layers together before quilting.

Is there a finer version? Yes — Quilting Pins Fine (SKU 2509) has a slimmer shaft for quilts made from more delicate fabrics where the standard 0.6mm would leave too much of a mark.

Can I use these for general sewing? You can, but at 48mm they're longer than most sewing tasks need. For garment sewing or patchwork piecing the Patchwork Pins (SKU 232) or Silk Pins (SKU Q2501) are easier to work with.
