SewTites Magnetic Pins 20 Count Longarm Quilting
The SewTites Magnetic Pins — 20 Count are flexible magnetic pins designed specifically for holding fabric layers during sewing and quilting without penetrating the fabric. Magnetic pins attract to metallic pins or each other to clamp fabric from both sides, making them especially useful for positioning fabric near sewing machine feed dogs or longarm machine areas where traditional pins are hazardous.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do SewTites work?
- Two magnetic components attract through fabric layers and hold them clamped together without piercing the fabric. They are ideal for positioning binding, holding backing, and clamping layers in areas where traditional pins would be at risk of machine contact.
- Are SewTites safe near sewing machine presser feet?
- Yes — because they hold fabric on the surface rather than piercing through, they can be positioned close to the presser foot area and removed just before the needle reaches them, reducing damage risk compared to traditional pins.
- Can SewTites be used with a longarm machine?
- Yes — SewTites are particularly useful for securing leader attachments and positioning fabric edges on longarm frames where pin penetration is undesirable.
- Does the 20-count provide enough for a project?
- For most quilting tasks, 20 magnetic pins provides adequate working quantity. They can be repositioned as work progresses.
- Are SewTites machine washable?
- Remove SewTites before washing. They are not designed to go through the washing machine.
