What are the cares and maintenance of pins in sewing?

In sewing, the primary type of pin used are straight pins. These can be dangerous if they fall on the floor and are stepped on or if toddlers/children find them. Though straight pins do not rust as easily as pins made before the 1980s, they can develop imperfections if in water or if bent. Use a good pin cushion or container with lid to protect them. Keep them out of reach of children.
