I have been known to sew over pins. sometimes I break a needle or bend a pin. Not a good deal. I try to pull as I get there, but sometimes don't quite make it.
|
Oh yes! I just cut 3 holes in the backing of my latest quilt to retrieve them! Going along ... La,La,La,... what the heck broke my nee... oh! Good thing I don't mind patches on the back!
|
Don't sew over them, but then don't usually use very many pins.
|
I try to pin where the needle won't hit the pin.
|
All it takes is one time for the pin to be just right to hit the needle point and then all kinds of damage can happen. I take them out now after that one time happened to me.
|
Sometimes I do and other times I take them out. I was taught though even though you aren't supposed to sew over them if you put them in at an angle then it won't break the needle.
|
I can if I am sewing very slowly. Otherwise I break needles and once the pin went right down into the bobbin, and caused all kinds of trouble. Had to have the machine repaired. If you do, be very careful!
|
No, although I use to, but decided that replacing needles and bent pins was crazy, in addition to the possibility of putting a hole in your fabric from the needle or pin breaking bending. I don't go through nearly as many needles or pins now. LOL
|
I don't for a couple of reasons. I'm afraid of doing damage to my machine by knocking it out of time if I hit a pin and I want to avoid braaking needles.
|
I never sew over the pins. Don't want to take the chance of bending/breaking the needle.
