Mounted Swallowtail Butterfly #3 Pin

After much internet searching online, Indigo Instruments had the best ratio of price after shipping compared to estimated arrival date. My recollection also being that any considerable option typically had prices within $1 CAD for this item (and alike pins). It's worth noting that although I never check Amazon if I can help it, I can't imagine it would be worth it to buy any pins from them, as this was already a good price, and quality control over there is negligible— even from verified sellers. I'm so glad I picked this company, as the customer service I encountered (fully my fault, I put my card info in wrong) was very helpful and understanding with the type of pleasantness that indicates at the very least a comfortable work environment, which is one of the things I try and prioritize in my shopping decisions if possible. My friend was super pleased with her birthday gift and I happily passed along the source of my purchase to her should she ever need more needles!

The Indigo pins were recommended on a crafting website by the noted pattern designer, Ann Wood. They are perfect for holding layers of material together "just right" while working on a project. Certain sizes were recommended, and I also purchased an assortment of sizes to test what worked best for me. These pins certainly are worthy of the recommendations and I have found them very helpful for my projects.
