How well do these hold pins? do they feel scratchy when wearing them?

they hold pins well but when removed you can still see the hole. Fits about 10 on each side before you can feel it reaches your neck. not scratchy, but I wish it was a little bit thinner because I don't like things around my neck

Mine was not scratchy at all. the pins did leave a hole mark and it was easier to poke thru avoiding the charactures. I lost a couple of pin backs, my cross body bag would move the lanyard when I got something out of it.

My daughter had about four pins when we took out trip to Disney and they stayed on the entire time. No they were not scratchy at all.

Occasional I do find myself having to adjust because there is a little discomfort, but it's not a constant everyday/ every wear issue. the little side supports are more uncomfortable to be honest so I started sticking a little cotton ball in between on each side to prevent the little poke. hope that helps:-)

They actually fit a range of pins. The bigger diameter the pin, the thinner they become, however, so you have to be careful. I'm using mine on a 2" diameter pin. Also, make sure your pin is long enough.

I'm not sure but I know it's a high count. I've washed them many times now and they haven't shown any indicative of becoming scratchy

I liked mine they were a little creased but I flat ironed curls into them I don't wear them a whole lot but for when I do they look good they are a little thin though..

What and I don't think the E. cotton and they have ugly pin strips. After two times of washing them they still feel really starchy

No, they don't scratch easily but if you plan to use them they will deffinitly scratch...adds character and charm to them

I have arthritis and find the clips easier to use than pins. They are easier to pick up and are very handy for bindings. No pins to accidentily get poked with when you pick up blocks or completed quilts on which you use them .

The plastic pins at first I was indifferent with. But after having these for over a month, I do wish they were metal or something less flimsy. Sometimes when you are rushing to change weight, the pins' flimsiness prevent them from sliding in straight as they need to. I don't think they are prone to breaking, but their flimsiness does sometimes annoy me a bit enough to deduct an extra half star from my rating.

These are not the gauze ones in my opinion, the gauze ones are thinner. These are thicker, but I would not call them scratchy at all. I use them as burp cloths and often clean my glasses off with them when they are covered with baby finger prints and its the only thing in reach. They soften up well.

I work with 100% cotton fabric and they do hold. I'm not sure how they would hold with silk or similar fabrics. Pins might be a better option for finer fabrics.

Not too scratchy but a little bit. They are outdoor cushions that dry really quickly which is great for a rainy climate!!

Yes, they need to be secure. Make sure you have been put on so that the slot in leg is over the bump on the side . They call it a pin,but it's more like a bump. I needed to switch one leg to a different place when it didn't fit well.

Agree that they feel like regular cotton sheets. Definitely not rough, but not necessarily luxurious.

They feel sturdy to me. If you are reasonable careful with it and don't repeatedly drop or throw it around I think you won't have any problems. If you don't take care of them they would probably start to break at the swivel points. Just don't sit down hard on them and swing 'em around by the cord and you'll be fine. They are well made in my opinion. As for tightness - not an issue unless you have a wider head (mine is ~6.5" wide ear-to-ear). The cups will fit large ears comfortably too.

I bought them as a gift for a friend, but I've used hers before and haven't had too much of a problem. They snap really tight, I know... I think they just need to get worn in. I will ask her next time we talk and see if there's a trick to it.

Well, I have fairly large fingers and they fit fine. But there is no need to worry as they can (and should) be bent to fit. Also note that like a lot of picks they should be fitted "slanted" so that they meet the string at right angles. I thought that buying these would be the answer as I expected to "feel" the string with my fingertip. That does not really happen in practice. I recommend the National picks over these because there is less "scraping" noise on the string.
