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.

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.
