I was stitching along and accidently sewed over a pin. It made me remember how the big advance in sewing was the hinged foot. The ballyllhoo was that you could sew over pins!! And we did it for years. THEN the wisdom was don't sew over pins. It is hard on the pins and if the needle hits it, it can break. So I avoid stitching over them, do you?

I put pins in horizonally about a half inch from the edge, that way the pins keeps the fabric together and I don't sew over them. Just hate the sound of a needle breaking, been there,done that; and possibly bending the shaft.
