I like your rule!!! I admit I sew over my pins. Occasionaly, I will hit one and bend it. I've had to get my pliers out to remove it from the bobbin area. I think speed and pin placement has a lot to do with it. I waver back and forth and sometimes I do remove the pins as I am sewing to it. I have a friend in Florida that is a new quilter and when he was here in August, I was helping him work on finishing his first quilt. I did stress to him that he shouldn't sew over the pins, that he should remove them. (Do as I say, not as I do!!) Old habits are very hard to break!
