The #00 stainless steel insect pin has several important advantages for museum fashion displays. Many of the fabrics are priceless and having any extremely sharp, thin pin ensures minimum damage. They are very flexible, much more so than standard sewing pins & are practically invisible when used discreetly.

Good quality pins and great service. They were out of #000 stainless steel pins when I ordered, but very courteously and quickly changed my purchase after promptly notifying me of such.
