The uses of safety pins
A simple yet versatile accessory that fits into many different projects. Here are the most useful ways to use them.
1. Tailoring and creative sewing
In tailoring, safety pins hold fabrics together, mark hems and darts, fix patterns or temporarily close a garment during fittings. The safety closure keeps them from opening and stops fabrics from slipping.
2. Stitch markers in knitting and crochet
They are perfect as stitch markers: clipped to a stitch, they mark the start of the round, an increase or decrease, or the right side of the work. A handy way not to lose your place in knitting and crochet projects.
3. Accessories, decorations and good-luck charm
Safety pins are great for fastening bows, tassels, charms and small decorations to your creations. By tradition they are also a good-luck charm and a favourite in party favours, adding a touch of meaning to your handcrafted keepsakes.
Strong steel and safety closure
The steel structure ensures lasting strength and a good hold even with frequent use. The safety closure keeps the point protected when the pins are closed, so you can store and handle them with ease in your work basket.
To keep them at their best, store them in a dry container away from moisture, to preserve their shine and the smooth action of the closure for a long time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are steel safety pins used for?
They are versatile safety pins: in tailoring and sewing they hold fabrics, mark hems and pin patterns; in knitting and crochet they work as stitch markers; and they are handy for fastening small accessories and decorations. The safety closure makes them practical and safe to store.
Can I use safety pins as stitch markers in knitting and crochet?
Yes, they are a cheap, reliable marker. Clipped to a stitch, you can mark the start of the round, increases or decreases, or the right side of the work. Unlike closed ring markers, they open and move easily wherever needed.
Is the closure really secure?
Yes. The safety closure keeps the point protected when the pin is closed, reducing the risk of accidental opening and of pricking yourself during use or when storing them in the work basket.
Does the steel of the pins rust?
The steel is strong and made to last. To keep it in perfect condition, store the pins in a dry container away from moisture, which is the main cause of dullness and oxidation in small metal items.
Why are safety pins considered a good-luck charm?
By tradition the safety pin is a symbol of protection and good wishes: that's why it is often added to creations, bows and party favours as a small good-luck charm, giving a fond meaning to your handcrafted keepsakes.
Are they good for party favours and decorations?
Absolutely. They are perfect for attaching bows, tassels, charms and little cards to favours and decorations, combining a practical closure with the symbolic role of a good-luck charm.
Are they suitable for tailoring and temporary hems?
Yes: they are ideal for holding hems and darts before sewing, keeping several layers of fabric together or temporarily closing a garment during fittings, without leaving visible holes like a thin pin would.
