head pins

Front bowling pins

Head pins are the thin straight pins with a flat or rounded head used in sewing to temporarily hold fabric in place.

In bowling, the head pin is the front pin in the triangular formation—the one closest to the bowler and first to be struck.

In jewelry making, head pins are short wires with a stopper at one end, used to string beads.
