They are totally invisible from the front and really give the pin something to grip into, especially on lighter-weight fabrics.
That's a good idea. Another great tidbit of information from the legend himself. I'll put this to use on me SWK post haste as I have been having problems with the relatively heavy kilt pin presently on its lightweight material.
