I think Feline Fanatic and I must be twins. I'm another one who very rarely pins, but when I do find the need, I use a dot of school glue instead. I think pins can sometimes distort the fabric.

I only pin if I need to, or if it seems easier for one reason or another - really never when I'm just piecing, but long seams if there are lots of seams to match up.

Me Too! I agree only if matching seams...I've gotten very good at just lining up under needle cking as I'm sewing they are aligned and zip right down...I also use a 1/4 foot w/guide which helps.

I admit, I'm a pinner.

I do. I have tried not pinning and always regretted it.

I pin everything within a inch of its life.

I stopped pinning when I got the cute little clips. I use the clips when I am putting binding on, but rarely use them for any other piecing. I occasionally use the clips for a long seam like when putting on borders, but otherwise I just trust my own capabilities to do the seam without any aids.

I am a pinned and a starcher. I have always pinned but the starching is something I learned from Pam Buda and it really cut down on fraying.
