A tip I haven't seen yet.

Take a piece of scotch tape and wrap a bit around the sharp end of the pin after you've put the poppy on, then it won't fall back through the hole. This works best for lapels and pockets where you can have the point of the pin behind the fabric instead of in front. (i.e. the pin goes through the fabric a total of three times) That way the tape is out of sight. The added benefit is that the pin won't poke you either.
