Milward pins are made of high quality hardened and tempered steel, which makes them strong and durable, and nickel plating prevents them from bending or oxidizing. They are thin and very sharp, easy and comfortable to work with. They do not tear the fabric. The beautiful and attractive pearl head on the pin works great with wedding dresses and light fine shirt materials, without the risk of light fabric coloring. They are also easy to handle when working with satin-based fabrics, they provide good grip during the entire process of making clothes. Pins are packed in a transparent plastic box.
