pin problems

I have a severely injured dominant right hand and took up quilting as therapy...but when pinning multiple layers together I find the larger headed pins are too thick to easily penetrate the layers and frequently shift alignments. I bought ultra thin pins but the glass heads are way too small to work well with my disability. Is there a superfine large head quilting pin that anyone uses that they might recommend?
I tried left handed.... so not for me and I have used a glue stick as a substitute but then it is hard to open seams to press. Help?

I use the Clover quilting pins with the glass heads (stock #2509). The glass heads are small, but there was a post a while back where the post-er glued beads to the pins. You could try that.

I, also use flower head pins. They are tin with a large flat flower at the end. It should work fine for you. I love them and I have many different pins. They are my all time favorite.
