🧵 Safety pins
Pony safety pins, also known as nappy pins, are an essential accessory for anyone who works with fabrics. Made from corrosion-resistant steel, these pins feature a secure, clasp-style closure that prevents accidental opening during use. Available in 6 different sizes, from 27 mm to 51 mm, they meet every sewing need, from quick repairs to more complex quilting and patchwork projects.
Each pack contains 6 to 12 pieces, depending on the size selected. The smaller pins (No. 0 and No. 1) come in packs of 12, ideal for precision work on lightweight fabrics. The medium and large sizes (No. 2 to No. 4) come in sets of 6–8, perfect for sturdier fastenings on thick materials or quilting projects.
🧬 Treated steel: why it works
Rust-resistant treated steel is the ideal choice for safety pins because it ensures long-lasting durability, even with frequent use. The protective coating limits oxidation, helping prevent the pins from staining light fabrics or deteriorating when exposed to moisture. This is particularly important when working with delicate fabrics or on projects that require pins to stay in place for extended periods.
The balanced spring tension of Pony steel allows the pins to be opened and closed hundreds of times without losing their grip. The spring maintains consistent pressure, preventing the pin from opening accidentally while you work. This is essential for quilting and patchwork, where pins need to hold several fabric layers together for hours.
📦 The six available sizes
Size No. 0 (27 mm x 12 pieces): the smallest size, ideal for lightweight fabrics, narrow hems and precision work. Perfect for securing details on shirts, blouses and delicate garments. Size No. 1 (32 mm x 12 pieces): versatile for everyday sewing, quick repairs and temporary fastenings on medium-weight fabrics. Size No. 2 (38 mm x 8 pieces): the most commonly used size in tailoring, suitable for most sewing projects and holding two fabric layers together.
Size No. 3 (44 mm x 6 pieces): sturdy and suitable for thick fabrics, quilts and multi-layer patchwork projects. Size No. 4 (51 mm x 6 pieces): the largest size, perfect for securing heavy fabrics, curtains, blankets and upholstery work. Assorted Size No. 1/3 (32/44 mm x 6 pieces): a mixed pack with two versatile sizes, ideal for anyone working on a range of projects who wants the right size close at hand.
🧶 How to use them correctly
The sharp point of Pony pins easily passes through even tightly woven fabrics without damaging the fibres. Always insert the pin perpendicular to the fabric, taking care not to force it through. The smooth steel surface glides without snagging threads, an essential feature when working with delicate fabrics such as silk, satin or jersey.
For quilting and patchwork, use sizes No. 3 or No. 4 to hold the three layers (top, batting and backing) together before quilting. Place the pins every 10–15 cm to prevent the fabrics from shifting while sewing. In traditional sewing, safety pins are perfect for threading elastic through casings and channels, securing patterns before sewing, and keeping dropped stitches secured in knitted fabric.
✨ Why choose Pony pins
Pony safety pins stand out for their locking closure, which securely covers the point and prevents accidental opening that could damage your work or cause a prick. Unlike cheap pins that open easily, Pony pins stay closed even when the fabric is under tension or while transporting your project.
The Pony brand is internationally recognised for the quality of its sewing accessories. These pins are made to professional standards and are used by both hobbyists and tailors and ateliers. They offer excellent value for money: a pack will last for years, even with intensive use, thanks to the strength of the steel and the precision of the closure.
🎨 What you can make
Safety pins are versatile tools that solve dozens of everyday problems in sewing and beyond. In dressmaking, they secure pattern details before sewing, hold pleats and hems in place while pressing, and let you try alterations without stitching. In quilting, they hold the quilt's three layers together as you work, replacing traditional basting and saving hours of work.
👩🎨 Who they're suitable for
Pony safety pins are suitable for all skill levels. Beginners will find them essential for learning how to secure fabrics before sewing, helping prevent mistakes and improve accuracy. The secure closure lets you work with confidence, without the risk of accidentally pricking yourself.
Professional tailors and quilting enthusiasts value Pony quality for complex projects that demand reliability. Anyone working with expensive or delicate fabrics knows that a pin opening at the wrong moment can ruin hours of work: Pony pins eliminate this risk. They're also popular with people looking for practical solutions around the home, from quick repairs to arranging curtains.
