I pin everything. As my pieces go through they seem to get a little off kilter towards the end if I don't pin. Maybe using a stiletto or something like that would help though...

Rarely.

Very rarely, only on the most complicated blocks, I do pinless curved piecing and love it.

Yes -- pinning makes me feel more comfortable. It always makes me more accurate.
|
I've been sewing for years and quilting for years too. I just always pin. I hate ripping stitches and it seems if I don't pin, I just have to rip. I just keep pinning.
|
I pin as little as possible, only when I feel I need to match a seam. I use my stiletto a lot.
|
If I have seams to butt up, I will pin them. It is easier than unsewing it they don't match up later.
