Helpful and discreet pins

I purchased these pins to hold my bed skirt in place. The twisty part helps to keep the pin from popping out when it's put under pressure; I did notice that sometimes getting the pin past the bed skirt and into the box spring below it was tough. That's understandable, though, if you think about the fact that I basically had to poke a small hole in the box spring to get it to go in. Once I was through that initially, they twisted in very nicely and have done an excellent job of holding my bed skirt in place. I had two pins break on me when I was trying to get them in, but 2 out of probably 25 used is not bad in my opinion. The top of the pins are mostly clear/slighly opaque, and on top of the cream fabric of my bed skirt it is not noticeable unless you're sitting on the floor looking for them. If you're using the pins to hold a corner of something in place, I recommend using 3 or more in a triangle shape around the corner to keep your fabric in place (picture attached). Overall I'm happy with my purchase, and I'd buy them again!

They do the job!

These upholstery tacks are great! Our headliner in the van started sagging on the passenger's side and it just kept getting worse and worse. I put these in, maybe took 5 minutes. It isn't the prettiest, but I gotta do what I gotta do I guess. The packaging says there was 50 in there, I didn't count them but I still have plenty left over! I added several photos of what they look like after placed. I put them sort of close together. Hopefully, this will help stop the sag.

Saved me hundreds of dollars

These work perfectly. I put them in my headliner in a Dodge Grand Caravan which was beginning to sag in a major way. These work and if you put forth a little effort and put them in a pattern, they look very good. I am completely satisfied. I did not have any trouble with screwing them in and none of the them broke. I fixed my headliner problem for a few bucks instead of hundreds of dollars for a new headliner.

Have a Dog or Cat? Read on......

Got a dog or cat and you have to cover up a piece of furniture with a throw or something? My little dog likes to sit on loveseat with me but I don't want her hairs or any dirt she drags in the house to mess it up. I've tried everything to cover the loveseat, even these special "pet covers" for sofas & loveseats, but they all move around and do NOT stay in place and got tired of always rearranging the covers - until I got the Twisty pins! They really work very well in keeping your covers from shifting around! Not saying they're perfect and never shifts... but you'll be surprised how much less you will have to deal with the shifting around. Probably good for other things too!

They work

These worked pretty well. They were a little difficult to put in through both the fabric of the chair and the slipcover. One or two of them broke while trying to put them in and it doesn’t look perfect, but I think that’s mostly my own fault. I would recommend these. They do what they are meant to do.

SUCCESS with Reattaching my Car's Headliner!

My car is nearly 20 years old and she has many issues. One of the most irritating was that the headliner fabric separated from the backing and drooped down. I tried every adhesive spray, tons of different glues, carpet tape, etc. and none of it would stick. I live in VA and it is hot and swampy humid which I'm sure didn't help the adhesives. Then I stumbled across a suggestion to use pins like this and decided to give it a go. YAY! It really is not attractive at all, but it is a million times better than not being able to see because the liner is hanging in your face. These pins were faster, cheaper, easier, and more effective than any other junk I threw money at. I'm keeping them around for future unexpected upholstery drooping!

Holds couch slipcovers like a dream!

Love these! First time using! So glad I discovered these to keep the slip covers on our couches in place! They work perfectly! Tip: order more than you think you'll need...it took entire 50 pack just to do our love seat properly...so had to go back and order a 100 pack to make sure have enough for our couch.

The cure for sagging headliner

These are excellent ... they just screw into the headliner and into the board above it and holds the headliner up. The pinheads are clear, so they fit with any color. The pinheads are quite small but large enough to hold up the liner. My pins did not need any adjustment. They just screwed in and held the liner.

they self-straighten as the go in so your finished product is nice and tight

I used these to tack up the sagging headliner in my mini-van. I was impressed that, even if you starty screwing them in at angle, they self-straighten as the go in so your finished product is nice and tight. I used 16 and have plenty more for future sagging.

Fixed my 2006 Accord sagging headliner

The headliner was sagging so bad that the entire rear window was blocked. Tried Scotch 77 adhesive but it didn't work and left dark blotches on the headliner material, which you can see in the pictures near the top corners of the rear window, (and a few other spots). But the pins worked great, and since the little package came with 50 of them there was more than enough. They were a little bit too long as most of them were just under 1/2 inch but they are easily compressed with needle nose pliers and it only took a few minutes to compress a dozen of them. Took a before and after picture of one of the pins so you can see the difference. In the [slightly blurry] before picture, the pin is about 7/16", and in the after picture the same pin was compressed to just under 1/4". The pins are sharp enough to easily go through the headliner but it takes a little work to get them to pierce and grab the material you want the headliner secured to. There is actually 2 layers between the roof and the headliner. There is the thin sponge like foam the headliner is glued to from the factory, and above that foam layer is a sturdier material, (like a thin piece of laminated cardboard). Not sure exactly what it is, but it's what you want the pins to go thru to secure the headliner to the roof of the car. It takes a little fiddling to get the pins to pierce that, but it's not that hard, and once that is pierced you just twist them all the way in, and then move on to the next pin. Took less then 15 minutes to fix my sagging headliner with the pins so I am very happy. Hope this helps keep someone from getting the same type of pins specifically labeled as headliner fasteners and ridiculously overpriced for only 8 or 12 pins.
