Yes!!! I no longer pin fabrics together...instead...use heavy thread (button/carpet) to tack my fabrics together...you don't have to worry about moving pins to cut...takes slightly longer, but I've found that my layers stay together better...They're fun to do...and you never know what the block will look like! I taught it at a LQS...and 2 ladies used the same fabric....you wouldn't have known....they were both very different!
