I do some of these things, sew over pins sometimes, never change the needle unless it breaks, but I like my seams to join and my points to be pretty. To those of you who have concerns about posting pictures. This is a baby quilt I finished last week. I posted this pic in the pictures thread here on the QB. Everyone has complimented me on the points, which is hilarious because while they look spot on in the photo, I promise you they are not nearly as perfect as they appear. So, post those pictures ladies and gents, we love looking at them - perfect or not. (The quilt police are not allowed to comment on pictures)
