I have another use for those glass-head pins. When I'm working on a
block pillow, and the regular short pins don't want to hold at the spot
where two pillows come together, I use one of the glass-head pins which
are much longer than my regular pins. Putting it in as a very slight
angle - but pushed farther in - makes that pin secure, and I don't have
to resort to an extreme angle as I would if using the regular pins. I
usually pull those pins out before the rest of the pins, and hope that
any distortion from the odd angle is smoothed out before all the other
pins are removed!

I use plain-headed pins as my basic ones, and a coloured-headed ones
for hanging in -- whether at the beginning, for gimp, or for a new pair
added in the midst of a project. They stick out like a sore thumb and
are almost impossible to forget.
I have been using those when bringing in extra pairs in the musical
notes piece and it worked well, but I never thought of that to start a
piece off. Mind you its a long time since I forgot to bring down
tthose on temporary pins (says she who will need to be careful she
doesn't have to eat those words:-)
I think there are some pieces where that might be the answer to it
all. Thank you for that.
