What’s the Purpose of That Tiny Hole in a Safety Pin?

In order to keep your seams from unraveling over time, finish each line of stitching by going back over the last few centimeters. This technique—called backstitching—adds durability to garments and any sewn items.

3. Pin Diagonally for Better Grip

Instead of pinning perpendicular to the seam, try placing your pins at an angle. This helps the fabric stay in place better and reduces slipping. Plus, it makes the pins easier to remove as you sew, helping to keep your lines straight and smooth.
