I find that I am always satisfied with Clover products. They have higher standards than Dritz. And the IBC (Imported by Clothilde) are also excellent. We are so concerned with getting the cheapest things, we are sacrificing quality. That's why everything is made in China. Americans won't support American workers who want a living wage, so we get what we pay for.

I have some that I absolutley love but I cannot find them either... they were moms and Ive tried to 'replace' them but to no avail.... However I did find Clover (blue fine quilting Pins) at joannes that were awesome.. Kinda pricy for 20 pins but with a coupon its worth to me to have long thin quilting pins i like and I can work with..[ATTACH=CONFIG]290023[/ATTACH]

I have several different sets of pins - some were given to me, some I inherited, and some I purchased myself. I realized that the ones that slide easiest into the fabrics were labeled "nickel coated". Has anyone else noticed this?

I have the flat head pins and my worst problem is that they bend. I always intend to throw the bent ones away once I'm finished for the day but I always forget-with hounds roaming the house I don't want to throw them where they might get them. I find it uncanny that I ALWAYS go for the bent pins in the pincushion.
