Hi and thank you all for your responses to my pinning question. So interesting that the answers go from always pin to never pin to everything in between. After posting my question I decided to start pinning everything on the quilt I am am currently working on (though I hadn't pinned everything on this quilt up to this point). I have to say I am pleased with the results of how things are turning out after I decided to start pinning. Things are much less wonky and points are looking better. I admit it's a time consuming pain to pin everything but I believe I will continue because things just don't line up as I feel they should when I don't pin. I watch the videos for simple things like hsq's and it seems they never pin but everything seems to come out okay. Maybe my machine is just wonkier than most in the amount of fabric (top vs bottom it pulls) or maybe I'm doing something wrong. I don't know! Whatever, I guess I'll stick to pinning.
