eek. I do this ALL the time. I need to make myself a wrist pincushion I guess. I have allergies too. yikes. I do usually only put in a few at a time and grab them out if I think I'm going to sneeze but there have been times I sneezed without warning.

Thank you for this reminder!
Glad you were ok.. I'm very guilty of this. :oops:
Just last week I had a pin in my mouth and my DS snuck up behind me (as he always does to scare me), well, I almost swallowed it. :shock:
Did I yell? Yep, better believe it. But I shouldn't have a pin in my mouth either. :roll: Bad me!!! :evil:

Better than down my throat, though.

I was taught when I learned to sew that you were never to put them in your mouth. I still did it, all the time. I didn't stop until I started teaching my granddaughter to sew. I didn't want her to learn from my bad example. Your story makes me glad I stopped doing it. Glad you were okay.

I too stick the pins in my blouse/shirt/dress front, as well as any trimmed threads. Just sew much easier than looking for a place to put threads or pincushion. MANY times I have gone out of a class or my home covered in "designer accessories" LOL
