Bohin Glass-Head Sewing Pins — 1-1/4 in (80 Count)
Product description
Bright, multicolor Murano-style glass heads return in a compact box, featuring red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple pins for easy color distinction while you work. The small, glossy spheres sit clearly on fabric so you can spot pinned areas at a glance and organize layers by hue.
These extra-fine pins are produced in Normandy, in the workshops at Saint-Sulpice-sur-Risle, where traditional pinmaking equipment and experienced artisans keep the craft alive. Each pin is formed and finished under careful supervision to deliver consistent sharpness and a smooth shaft for effortless insertion through woven and lightweight fabrics.
Each pin measures 1-1/4 inches (0.60 mm diameter) with a nickel-plated steel shaft and a rounded Murano-style glass head that protects fibers and will not melt under heat. The set contains 80 pins stored in a reusable plastic container, making them convenient for quilting, appliqué, garment construction and other hand-sewing tasks where a visible, heat-resistant head and a fine point are beneficial.
Pros
- Bright, easy-to-see Murano-style glass heads
- Heat-resistant — glass won’t melt during ironing
- Fine, sharp nickel-plated steel shafts
Cons
- Shorter 1-1/4 in length may not suit all projects
- Only 80 pins per package
- Glass heads can be misplaced if dropped
VerdictThese Bohin glass-head pins combine traditional French craftsmanship with practical design: sharp, fine-point shafts of nickel-plated steel topped with dense, colored Murano-style glass heads that stay visible on fabrics and withstand ironing. The 1-1/4-inch length is well suited to quilting and general sewing; the reusable box keeps all 80 pins together. Great for anyone wanting durable, attracti

Sharp, fine pins at just the right length for piecing; they hold layers well and withstand steam and heat from the iron.

Short but lovely
Beautiful glass heads and very sharp; somewhat shorter than other pins I own.

Sturdy and sharp
Very sharp and rigid—these hold fabric layers firmly unlike flimsy pins. A pleasure to use and well made.
