3 point pins

Use 3-point pins to stretch silk over a frame. They ensure good tension.  Place them at regular intervals, side by side so that the tension is uniform.

For silk by the metre, use the pins. For silks already sewn as a scarf, tie or other textile piece, use H Dupont silk claws.

Each box contains 100 tempered steel/nickel pins.

How to use 3-point pins

Place your silk on the frame. Leave enough silk (1 or 2 cm) so you are able to place the pins without damaging the work.

Push the pins side by side on the frame ensuring the silk is smooth without being too tight.  If it’s too tight the fibres could spread affecting the final result.

When finished, simply remove the 3-point pins with the round end of a knife.
