Quilting Pins

Precision placement makes all the difference in quilting, and the right pins keep your blocks, borders, and quilt sandwich exactly where you want them. Linda’s Quilting Pins collection features long, fine, sharp pins selected specifically for quilters who need reliability through multiple fabric layers.

What length pin is recommended for quilting?

For quilting, look for pins that are at least 1.75 inches long — long enough to pass through a quilt top, batting, and backing without bending. Longer pins (2 inches or more) are ideal for thicker projects.

Can I leave pins in while sewing over them?

It’s generally best to remove pins just before your needle reaches them to avoid breaking your needle or bending the pin. However, some quilters sew slowly over fine, sharp pins with care.

What are the best pins for basting a quilt?

Curved safety pins (size 1) are the most popular choice for quilt basting because they’re easy to close with one hand on a flat surface. Straight quilting pins are better for holding seams and blocks during assembly.

Do you carry pins in bulk quantities?

Yes! We carry pin collections in various sizes and quantities, including larger packs ideal for quilters who use lots of pins. Check individual listings for counts and packaging options.
