Hard to describe but really helpful to keep the matching seams together while you're sewing them. Best part is that when you have it pinned so that the seams match, they will still match after you've sewn it. Too often when trying to use separate pins I would find that it would shift during the actual sewing. Not with these pins. They also hold down the seam allowances so that they don't flip over creating a bump when you are sewing the seam. Love the colors of your chocolate and mint quilt.
