    Hi I use the flower headed pins they are longer and I prefer them .I never sew over any pins as they could break and ping out into your face or damage your machine ,they are very bendy but will reshape easily .hope this helps

    When I was researching Pinmoors I had read several different variations of making your own and earplugs was one of those suggestions. I haven't gotten the Pinmoors yet so can't comment on how durable they are. Suppose to be self healing and made of silicon. The only negative feedback I've read was buyers were unhappy with the pricing. If I decide to get them I will do a comparison of the earplugs and Pinmoors. My son uses earplugs for shooting practice so I could grab a couple of his.

    I like flower pins, but they do bend easily. I like them because they are thin and extra long. I try not to sew over pins.

    I too use them to pin to the leaders. I also use them as directional pins for my rows so I don't get them turned around. Red=right, blue=up (the sky is blue and up) and yellow=left ( because my daughter pronounced yellow as lellow, so l=left lol)

    I had thought about writing 1-2-3 etc on mine with a sharpie just haven't done it. I would hate for the writing to rub off on my fabric. Maybe I can remember your color code.
