Hi, just wondering what the difference is between silk pins and others. I would like pins that glide through the fabric effortlessly. Aren't they all made of the same metal, steel? Thanks so much!

Originally silk pins were made so as not to damage the fine silk fabric when sewing. But I, too, use them for all my sewing, whenever possible, because they go through the fabric like a knife through butter.
