Keeping fabric edges together on long seams
#12
I'm a "holder", not a "pinner" too and have always done it because it saves time. I do a minimal amount of pinning when I'm sewing garments - mostly when inserting sleeves so that I can get the ease required.

It's Sew Easy showed this technique, said it's how they do it for commercial products because it's faster and more efficient. I've got an old Pfaff with IDT which pretty much does the same thing. I still put in a reminder pin to slow down if I think a seam I'm going over may be stitched down in the wrong direction.

that is exactly how ALL of your clothing you buy are sewn. I worked one summer making Carter's Children's wear... you should see those older ladies who have been there forever whipping thru those seams...
