No.

I have but try to take out before I get to them causes to many problems

i sew over them all the time. It is almost always fine. As long as you aren't pulling or pushing the fabric just let the machine do it everything is fine.

From a Machine Tech's point of view... Never sew over pins. First of all if you do hit a pin, your needle is damaged and you need to replace it. The worst thing that could also happen is you can send your machine out of time (or alignment)... Think of hitting a pothole hard with your car. It is better to pull the pins before you get to them, than to risk damaging your machine.

Heard that they will distort on one of the quilting shows, so have been trying not to and removing them just before the needle enters the fabric.

:) Not on purpose!

I don't pin much when I sew. When I do, I am very careful to remove them. I've sewn over a few pins and it is not a fun experience

Never. I take them out as I go along. I'm thinking a broken needle in the machine can cause BIG problems...possible repair cost.

Yes. For 30 years I've been sewing over my pins - I just go very slowly and if it looks like I'm going to have a needle/pin collison I pull the pin out. When I started quilting I learned that it was forbidden so I guess I'll go to Quilt Prison if I'm apprehended. Have almost never broken a needle.

I no longer sew over pins and pull them out as I go. I recked to many sewing machines by doing that. Been sewing on my old Singer machine for a while and hand sewing things. My old singer I have to keep setting the thread tention and can't figure out why it does that. I have been saving up once again for a new machine and only need $125.00 more and I can go shopping for a new one.
