I think I need a little advice. I have been using an old singer machine which sews over needles. I just bought a new Janome computerized machine and can someone tell me if I can pin my fabric then sew over the pins like I did with the singer. I know the new machine can only take plastic bobbins and wondered if pins might screw it up or something...thanks all.

Everyone is probably going to tell you the same thing.... DON'T sew over pins! It can damage the innards of your machine. That said, I do sew over pins on my 20 year old Pfaff but they're the very thin flower head pins and I go very slowly over them.
Now we'll see what everyone else has to say, huh? :-)

If I want to sew over something before I remove the pin, I stop sewing before I get to the pin and sew over it manually (using the hand wheel on the right of the machine). Hitting a pin can lock up a computerized machine. Want to know how I know?! :shock: :lol: :shock:
Congratulations on your new machine! :-D :-D :-D
