This is what I do also! So easy and works so well. It's amazing how 'slippery' fabric can be isn't it? This keeps the fabric under control, and our nerves calmer!
By 'this' I mean I place my pins about an inch in from the edge of the fabric and parallel with the edge of the fabric. A much better way to pin since the fabric absolutely cannot slip and the quarter inch seam is always the same (top fabric and bottom fabric) and you can sail right along without pulling out pins (or sewing over them and breaking needles). More efficient for sure
