i tend to hold them with my teeth too. i used to always bite the thread to cut it. my hygienist told me she could tell becuse the thread was making a groove in my front teeth. stopped doing that but sometimes i can't resist the feel of the pin between my teeth.

I used to do that most of the time, especially when I started sewing (clothing). But the first time I was sewing with my grandchildren, I stopped just before I stuck a pin in my mouth. Didn't want to teach them a bad and dangerous habit.

BOY AM I GLAD I POSTED THIS. I KNOW I AM DEFINITLY NOT ALONE IN THIS BAD HABIT. I HOPE ALL THE HOME ECH TEACHERS OUT THERE READ THIS AND IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY TEACHING IT, DO. I TOOK HOME ECH MANY YEARS AGO BUT DON'T REMEMBER LEARNING ABOUT IT.

Until one day the doorbell rang and she answered it to find a shocked door-to-door salesmen looking at her chest with all the pins stuck in it!!
