Merchant and Mills Glass Headed Pins are an essential upgrade for any dressmaker who prioritises both safety and quality.
The defining feature of these pins is their heads, which are made from genuine glass rather than plastic.
This means they are heat-resistant; you can safely iron over them without the risk of the heads melting onto your fabric or your iron—a common and frustrating mistake with cheaper pins. They are a true workshop essential for pressing seams.
Super sharp and easy to find in fabric!
– 100 (approx) glass headed pins in a multitude of colours to suit your every mood
– 30mm x 0.60mm
Beyond their heat-resistant properties, these pins are made from high-tempered steel, ensuring they are sharp enough to pierce multiple layers of fabric without bending or snagging. The bright glass heads are easy to see, making them simple to track and remove.
They come beautifully presented in a reusable glass jar or signature sliding box, keeping your workspace organised and stylish. For any maker who takes pride in their process, these pins are a small investment that significantly improves the ease and safety of garment construction.
