C.S. Osborne No. 199 Twist Pins, 100 Pack
When to choose it
Choose the No. 199 when the goal is to keep an armchair slipcover in position. The half-inch twisted shaft and clear plastic head suit that documented fastening task. The head gives you a point to turn while the short shaft goes into the underlying fabric.
Compare the 3/8-inch head with the area where it will sit and check that the fabric under the cover can accept a twist pin. If you need to hold several layers in alignment while you sew, look at a longer straight upholstery pin instead.
