Off and on depending on mood, the pattern and where the pins are in relation to the cats!

Blocks to Blocks, Row to Row, or if sashing is envolved, Hem also :)

I'd like to try the Elmer's glue trick, but I haven't gotten up the nerve. I bought some, but that is as far as I've gotten.(O:

I didn't use to pin and I still don't if it's just two pieces being sewn, but if I need to match seams, I always pin. A friend showed me how much better I sew when I pin (if pinned correctly!) so I am a convert, ever since.

I pin if there are seams to match...that's about it.

Same here. It's easier to pin than to unsew.

When I sew seams...the pins are the best...but I have to admit I find pins all over my living room...
