You will put the 1 pin at the very bottom of the pivot and sew towards it. The pin shows you the "center" of the pivot and you will be able to see it and sew exactly to that point. Then with your needle down...raise your foot and turn the quilt to start sewing up the next scallop.

You can clip a few threads at the bottom of the scallop and then pull the quilt to "straighten" out the scallops, but I found that pivoting worked better and then I didn't have any clipped areas on the edge of my quilt. It made the binding almost "fall" into place when I turned it to stitch it down by hand also.
