I tend to remove my pins just as I come to them. However, sometimes I miss one or two and then sometimes when I do sew over them I break my needle, I have a Bernina 180 so I would say do NOT sew over your pins.
|
I always remove the pins - when I had my old kenmore, I think I would sometimes sew over pins but now I have 2 babylock computerized machines and I don't want to take that chance
|
I did in the past, and bent a few pins. Now I stop and take them out. I worry that something will hit me in the eyes.
|
When I learned to sew in home economics(a hundred years ago lol), we were TAUGHT to sew over pins. I believe the Singer machines at that time even advertised, "will sew over pins". In recent years it has become a NO NO, and I have heard it can harm the machine.

this is what i do..when i get really close to the pin..i slow down and since i have a bernina i use needle down position and as i get there i quickly pull the pin out,,if i stop thats ok..the needle is down and i wont lose my place...

I would not sew over the pins, voice of experience, I sewed over pins until I hit one and it ruined my bobbin case. I don't sew over them any longer. I also have a Janome.
