Thread: Argument over sewing over pins!

Beside the chance of a broken needle flying at you and hitting you........You do LOTS of damage to your machine that can result in very costly repairs........replacing your machine hook and needle plates gets rather pricey. I stopped sewing over pins a long time ago.

Sometimes I sew over pins and sometimes I don't, what helps is to make sure you buy the quilting pins, the shaft is skinner, don't buy the ones that have a bigger shaft. I would bend a pin once in awhile, sometimes it very neccessary to keep that fabric in place, and I don't remove them because of that. Never had a problem except possibly breaking the needle, probably need to change it anyway, after a certain amount of sewing they get dull.
