I now recall that I left the Number 7 pattern in Introduction to Honiton Lace on my pillow half done for a long time. I had to borrow my DH pliers to pull the rusty pins out of the pillow.
As an uneducated newbie I have to ask why stainless steel would not be considered superior to brass especially in a high humidity area? I confess to using an assortment of pins - most from my sewing pins stash but I like them better than the very bendable, short ones I got with my pillows. Since I'm doing *fat* threads it doesn't seem to matter what my pins are.
