A sewing needle is a long slender tool with a pointed tip. The first
needles were made of bone or wood; modern ones are manufactured from
high carbon steel wire, nickel- or gold plated for corrosion resistance. The
highest quality embroidery needles are made of platinum. A needle for
hand sewing has a hole, called the eye, at the non-pointed end to carry
thread or cord through the fabric after the pointed end pierces it.
Pins
A pin is a device used for fastening objects or
material together. It is usually made of steel,
and is formed by drawing out a thin wire,
sharpening the tip, and adding a head.
