Can someone tell me what sort of pins I'm after!?

[lucysmam]

I cannot for the life of me remember even though I have a few .

They're like safety pins but without the swirly bend in the non fastening end of them.

I've tried jewellery pins & brooch pins in ebay so far but not come across them yet.

Tia :)

Kilt pins?

I don't think so, but will google & check. They're finer than I think kilt pins are.

Bulb pins

I think you mean ones shaped like bulb stitch markers?

Oops, hope link works!
Google bulb stitch markers.

Do you mean a French bulb pin? (Rather ridiculously to me they look like a childish drawing of a Willy but they are a pin that you describe?)

Aah, no, it wasn't bulb pins - the ones I have are straight. Bulb pins will do the job though so I'll order some of those, thank you :)

Just a quick bump in case anyone else knows what they might be :)

Coiless safety pins?

Coiless or ball safety pin.

They're the ones! Much appreciated, thank you :)
