Uses of needles and pins in our life

Needles and pins, as well as safety pins, are mainly used to fasten clothing or papers. A needle is a type of pin that is generally used for sewing. Sewing machine needles are larger compared to the ones we use to sew clothes by hand.

Pins can also be made into accessories or jewelry and worn as earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. Safety pins use a simple spring mechanism and clasp. The clasp serves two purposes in the formation of safety pins. One is to form a loop and therefore hold the pin to whatever it is applied to. Another purpose is to cover the end of the pin to protect the user from any damage caused by the sharp end.

The invention of the pine

In the 14th century, Walter Hunt had to pay a debt of $15 to his friend and was thinking about how to pay him back. He twisted a piece of wire into a safety pin, which he later sold for $400. With this money he paid off the debt and with rest he was looking forward to doing something new. He claimed it was the first pin to have a clasp and spring, and therefore designed to stay secure. Again in 1834, Walter Hunt invented the first sewing machine in America.

Today, needles and pins are very popular and are used in many ways. Sometimes they are even considered safer for life when you accidentally rip your clothes and need to fix them right away. Needles, pins, and safety pins are also widely used during fashion shows.
