My machine is just like yours :) Mine is a 41 year old kenmore, it also has a special foot, called a floating foot, that is made to float over top of pins. I rarely pin when i'm quilting, except maybe for a border or something, but i pin when i sew dresses for my grandaughter, and those pinned gathered seams, yup, sew right over them with no problem...i always use my floating foot, unless i have to do zigzagging
