Where and how do you position a kilt pin?

I'm not an expert either.
There is the thicker facing on the edge of the apron that the pin could go through. Although, I've been thinking of using the blanket pin I have on my kilt. I don't think I want to put that through the facing. It seems a little too close to the edge of the apron anyway.

On the thinner pins, I always put a piece of a rubberband on the pin, so it wont fall off the kilt if the clasp comes open.

Yes, this is very good advice.

This I should do as I have either misplaced or lost a kilt pin somehow.

I've heard that the eraser off of a pencil works even better.

I have a Zebra pin that is very dear to me because Moosedog gave it to me. I just can't risk losing it. Sometimes I use it as a hat pin, almost like a clan badge, when I am not wearing a kilt. I do the same rubberband thing with the hat pins too.

I've used this method, but the darn thing keeps falling off on me (the eraser, not the pin).
