Clover Flower Head Pins Sewing Pins No 2506 - 302506

Clover Flower Head Pins are the quilting and sewing pin of choice for sewers and quilters who need a long, fine pin they can iron over without stopping to remove it first. The flat disc-shaped flower head lies flush against the fabric surface — unlike a ball-head or glass-head pin that protrudes upward and catches the iron's soleplate, the flower head allows the iron to glide directly over the pinned area. Combined with an extra-long 54mm shaft and a fine 0.7mm diameter, these are precision quilting and sewing pins suited to all stages of a project from cutting and pattern work through to the final pressed finish. Pack of 100 from Clover — Japan's most trusted sewing notions brand.

THE FLOWER HEAD — WHY IT MATTERS

The head of a pin determines how you can work with the pinned fabric. Standard ball-head and glass-head pins sit upright on the fabric surface. When pressing a pinned seam or quilt section, you must either remove every pin before ironing or iron around them — both interrupt the pressing process and risk catching the soleplate on a protruding pin head, which can scratch the soleplate or flick the pin.

The flat flower head solves this:

• Lies flush with the fabric surface — the flat disc head sits parallel to the fabric rather than projecting upward; an iron passed over pinned fabric glides over the flower head without catching
• Press without removing pins — seams, darts and fabric sections can be pressed while still pinned; particularly useful in quilting where pressing as you work is part of the construction process and removing and reinserting dozens of pins between each pressing step is impractical
• Easy to see — the flat disc head, typically in a bright colour, is highly visible against fabric; easier to locate and remove at the end of a project than small metal-only pin heads, and reduces the risk of leaving pins in finished work
• Easy to handle — the wide flat surface gives the fingers a clear grip point when inserting or removing pins; faster to work with than ball-head pins in high-volume pinning tasks like basting a quilt sandwich

54mm LENGTH — EXTRA LONG FOR QUILTING AND MULTI-LAYER WORK

At 54mm, these are extra-long pins compared to the standard dressmaking pin at 28–32mm. The extra length is not excess — it is functional:

• Quilting through multiple layers — pinning a quilt sandwich (quilt top + wadding + backing) requires a pin long enough to pass cleanly through all three layers and be gripped on the underside; a standard-length pin barely reaches through the layers and is difficult to pin with confidence; a 54mm pin passes through comfortably and leaves enough shaft exposed to grip on both sides
• Pinning thick or textured fabrics — heavier fabrics, wadded layers, multiple fabric layers in bag making and tailoring require extra pin length to hold the layers together securely; a 54mm pin grips through fabric depths that a short pin cannot manage
• Basting a quilt sandwich — when hand-basting a quilt (the process of temporarily securing all three layers before quilting), long pins placed at regular intervals hold the sandwich flat and taut across its full width; the extra length means each pin holds the layers without puckering or shifting
• Pattern pinning through multiple layers — when cutting fabric with pattern pieces pinned through folded or stacked fabric, extra-long pins hold all layers together more securely across the full area of the pattern piece

0.7mm DIAMETER — FINE WITHOUT BEING FRAGILE

The 0.7mm shaft diameter sits in the middle range for sewing pins:

• Fine enough for most woven fabrics — 0.7mm leaves a minimal hole that closes readily in most cotton, linen, quilting cotton, dressmaking fabric and light home décor fabric; thicker pins can leave permanent holes in tightly woven or delicate fabrics
• Strong enough for multi-layer quilting work — fine pins can bend or snap under resistance; 0.7mm provides the balance between fineness and the structural strength needed to penetrate multiple fabric layers cleanly without deflecting
• Suitable across quilting cotton to light furnishing fabric — the standard weight range for sewing and quilting projects; for very fine silk, voile or organza, an even finer pin may be preferable, but for the majority of quilting and sewing applications 0.7mm is the right choice

WHO USES CLOVER FLOWER HEAD PINS

• Quilters — flower head pins are considered standard equipment in quilting; the ability to press without removing pins, combined with the length needed for multi-layer pinning, makes flower head pins the preferred pin style for quilters at all levels; used throughout the construction of a quilt from cutting and block assembly through to sandwich basting and border attachment
• Dressmakers and garment sewers — flower head pins are useful wherever pressing pinned work is part of the construction sequence; garment fitting, pressing pinned seams and setting the shape of collars, cuffs and facings while still pinned benefit from a pin that can be ironed over safely
• Patchwork and appliqué crafters — precise pinning of small patchwork pieces and appliqué elements where a flat head pin's visibility and ironability are practical advantages
• Quilting teachers and students — flower head pins are typically recommended as the entry-level quilting pin in workshops and classes; beginners who start with them avoid the habit of removing pins before pressing that standard ball-head pins require
• Craft groups and sewing circles — group projects like charity quilts and community blankets involve multiple sewers sharing materials and equipment; a 100-piece pack provides adequate supply for a working session or to divide among members
