I'm newish and still pin, but that's for security. It also seems to stop me 'rushing to finish' and therefore increases the relaxation aspect, as well as the accuracy. There's no right way, just your way.
Have fun.

I pin most of the time. Tired of using seam ripper.

NO I hardly ever pin....

Ditto...when my sewing machine isn't being temperamental....

I am a verified pinner! I pin and pin well! Always have, probably always will.

Once I discovered the really thin, fine silk pins, pinning wasn't so much of a chore. They're expensive & don't have an easy-to-grab ball head, but they slip through the fabric like it was soft butter. I first bought them back before 1991. Can't remember the brand. I just purchased some for the quilting program. I'll look at work & get back to you tonight.

Hardly ever

depends on what i'm working on...lots of times i do not need to pin...but if i am working on something and need to really make sure everything is matched correctly...or flimsy fabrics that tend to not hold together straight with out.
so...pins...when they are needed-definitly :thumbup:

I only pin seams that need to be lined up, ever.

If I want perfect meeting points, I use the fork pins. Or I use the very thin silk pins.

Same here. But I do pin when matching up seams and always when sewing on sashing and borders.
