pins do we use enough

Pin Pin Pin. A freind of mine kept telling me I didn't pin enough and now I probably pin to much. I've learned not to sew over them though. I take mine out. I missed one the day and woke me up when my needle broke. :shock:

I pin everything to the max. I sew over them. I will hit one occasionally so make sure you wear glasses. I think the trick is to use thinner pins and when I put them in I put them in so they dont go all the way to the edge.

I generally prefer the "we don't need no stinking pins" method, but it occasionally does come back to bite me. I used to always always pin my bindings and actually, I find they come out better now without my pinning. (Which could just mean that my stitching has improved.)
I will never be an heirloom quilter <sigh>. But I must admit I like my seat of the pants way most of the time.

I have such a time seeing what I'm doing I use thin pins at the seams. I go slowly and sew over them, no problems, no breaks so far with a Janome 3022.
What's bad is after I'm done, sometimes I didn't line it up close enough when I pinned. Oh well, it's not being judged by anyone but me and I've decided since I still consider myself learning I'll live with those little creative decisions. :-)

I always pin the seams that are supposed to match up (doesn't always work but... <sigh> ). I don't sew over pins so, if I don't have to match anything up, I use as few pins as I can so I don't have to stop and pull them out as many.
