Choosing upholstery pins and skewers

Compare the reach with the layers

Use a length that reaches through the layers you need to hold and leaves enough to handle. Check the selected pack for a single length or an assortment before counting out a work area.

Decide whether you need a temporary hold

A skewer can position fabric during assembly. Twist pins are sold for different holding jobs, so use the documented purpose of the exact design when you choose a head and shaft.

Department questions

Should I choose a T-pin or an upholstery skewer?

Look at how much material you need to grip and where the head will sit relative to your hands and seam. Compare the actual length and pack count rather than grouping the two styles by appearance.

When are short twist pins a useful option?

Choose a documented twist pin for a task such as holding an armchair slipcover. Use a straight pin to position layers temporarily for sewing.

Which length should I compare for a deeper upholstery fold?

Check how much shaft you need through the material and what remains for your fingers. Compare the three-inch Osborne pin with the 2½-inch Dritz option.
