I generally pin only when I'm trying to match seams. But if you're not comfortable without the pins, by all means, you should use them. There is no right or wrong way for this. You need to do what works best for you.

Rarely, only if I have to, when matching a difficult intersection of points, and I never sew over pins. Just sewing slowly usually solves an intricate problem. I find pinning distorts seam joints, and breaks needles. And who wants that??lol

As a fairly new newbie, I'm still using some pins. But I find I need them less and less the more I sew. One tip I picked up on another website was to put my pins parallel to the sewing line. It helps me keep the fabric pieces lined up, but the pins don't go under the needle!
