What is a "pin"?

A pin is a small, slender, pointed object used in sewing and other crafts to hold fabric pieces together temporarily. Pins are typically made of metal, with a sharp point at one end and a flat or rounded head at the other end to make it easy to handle and remove. They can be straight or curved, with some designs featuring a ball or pearl head for decorative purposes. Pins are an essential tool in sewing, allowing fabric pieces to be held together while being sewn without shifting or moving out of place. They are also commonly used in pattern-making and quilting. Pins must be handled with care to avoid injury, and some sewers prefer to use alternative methods such as clips or adhesive tape to hold fabric pieces together to reduce the risk of pricking themselves or damaging their fabric.
