    I do that a lot and more than once someone has asked me what the pins in my shirt meant. My friend, Karen, can look at me and ask what I am sewing on now. I started using a magnetic pin cup after I forgot to take the pins out of my T-shirt before pulling it off over my head. NOT NICE.

    I use the freebie magnets that you can get every where. I cut them in half and put a part inside my shirt and the rest outside and it catches the pins. Works great.

    My dentist demonstrated the groove in my tooth by running his instrument over it when I was 12 years old. he said it was caused from biting off the thread and warned me how it would be in another 40years...I haven't done it since...always have a cutter handy and right next to the many pin cushions.

I thought they were starting to just crack (with age LOL) and she said no, she has seen this happen to other clients. Also cutting thread with your teeth is a bad habit. Soooooo I am trying very hard to stick the pins in a cushion from now on. Thought I would pass this along. :-D
    thanks for the info...Augusta is my former home :P

    I do the same thing. This reminds me of a funny thing when I wanted to go fishing with my brothers, I had 9 of them. I was real good at cutting their fishing line with my teeth as they were really sharp. Strange, right! At least I goto fish.

    I have cut thread with my sharp regular teeth all my life, and then got veneers and it is so hard to break the habit, but my veneers won't cut thread to save my life.

    Oh gosh! I hold pins between my lips sometimes. Try to remember to wear the wrist pin cushion when I'm pinning. Actually getting spoiled to the glue baste pen...so not using regular pins as much. Its not as damaging when you put the glue pen in your mouth :wink:

    I felt like you were talking to me. My dentist told me the same thing. I have to wear a night guard at night to keep me from clenching and grinding my teeth. Maybe, I need to wear it while sewing!
