a short thin piece of metal with a spike at one end and a head at the other which is used to hold two or more pieces of material together
A pin is used for temporarily keeping pieces of fabric in place while hand sewing, or sewing on the machine. After sewing you would remove the pin. An actual pin is a very thin piece of metal with a tiny head at one end. This head is to stop the pin slipping all the way through the fabric.
It is a sewing needle.
The sewing machine uses these types of folds: Cross Needle point Bait way and Pin point
''Pin cushions hold pins for sewing. They also sharpen the pins with the material that's in the center of it.'' -Quoted by my 7th grade sewing teacher.
It depends on what kind of pin. Some examples are: pin (for sewing) = sikah (סיכה) pins (for sewing) = sikot pin (for bowling) = peen (פין) pins (for bowling) = peenim (×¤×™× ×™×)
The sewing machine gave people an alternative to sewing by hand. People stopped sewing by hand as much because now there was another choice. It meant that, especially for long, straight seams, there was a faster way to sew. Sewing machines are also more consistant.

what is the advantage of hand sewing needles
The main purpose of a hand wheel on a sewing machine is to slowly turn the needle by hand.
As sewing machine is 6x times faster than hand sewing and it can even be more. It is a good investment to get a sewing machine because it saves a lot of time.
Using a sewing machine is a lot quicker and often neater than the much slower hand sewing. Some modern sewing machines are able to produce fancy stitching.
It is used to hand sew any fabric youself to make it to your suitability.
