Straight Pins with numbers on the heads, where to get?
Hello, don't know if I saw it here or where but I'm looking to buy the straight pins with numbers on the heads for keeping my rows straight. Plus I have a bargello on the "TO DO" list soon and I know those pins would come in handy keeping the rows of strips straight. Does anyone know where I might find them?
Thanks to anyone and everyone with their advice.

They are expensive! I'm happy enough with pinning a note on, but I'm thinking also that you can get kids' beads with numbers on them, which could be threaded onto a safety pun. (They are sold for making bracelets with messages)

I made my own using flowers head pins and those round stickers bought at an office supply store. Put the number on one---stick that on the front---put another on the back. The pins must have a flat head to be successful. The stickers are about the size of a nickel and different colors.

Not really answering the question here, but I have a comment on pins and a Bargello. I found that using those garage sale size price stickers worked really well for me when I was making Bargellos. Just in case that helps anyone...

I did this TOO !! You could have bought them last Sunday at 70% off at JAF. I have done many bargello and this works best for me. You can also cut 3/4" squares from scraps of fabric and number them to and pin them at the top of rows.
