My worst habit , is yes ...... I do sew over pins ( not all the time). Thankfully I have slowed down my machine when I do this , and no damage has been done. But I can still hear my Mom yelling at me , STOP sewing over PINS!
So fess up .... whats your bad habit, one you really wish you could break?
My first and foremost is that I, too, sew over pins. My first machine (and my mom's machine) was a slant=needle. One of the things the demonstrator told us was that "It sews over pins." And it does. Now I have other machines and I forget to remove pins 99% of the time.
Another thing I "can't" go is work with a thimble.
