I sew over them all the time. I started out sewing garments and there's really no way you can avoid sewing over pins when you are easing in a sleeve. When I got my new machine and went to the overview class the instructor said not to do it, so I try and remove them as I go, but still seem to sew over them about half the time. I sew very slowly.
