Sewing over pins
I learned to sew on a Singer 221...known as a Featherweight. I use to sew over pins all the time. NEver had any problems. It was later in life that I found out I wasn't suppose to do that. I try and not do it nowdays with the newer machines. BUT there's no way I can top my old Singer machines that would/will stitch over anything. I have a 15, 99, two 301, 201 treadle, and a 127 handcrank on the way. I can hardly wait for it to arrive. My quilt guild is doing another BOM and I thought I"d give it a try. The colored photo of the quilt is done in bright colors with a black ground. I thought to do mine in reproduction Civil War fabric and stitch it on my handcrank. I know it wasn't born until 1927 but still I like the idea!! LOL
