I think I need a little advice. I have been using an old singer machine which sews over needles. I just bought a new Janome computerized machine and can someone tell me if I can pin my fabric then sew over the pins like I did with the singer. I know the new machine can only take plastic bobbins and wondered if pins might screw it up or something...thanks all.

Everyone is probably going to tell you the same thing.... DON'T sew over pins! It can damage the innards of your machine. That said, I do sew over pins on my 20 year old Pfaff but they're the very thin flower head pins and I go very slowly over them.
Now we'll see what everyone else has to say, huh? :-) |
I sew over them, but only if I have to at a tricky intsection. I have an older Bernina, no computer.
|
Mine is not computerized.
|
It can throw the timing off is what I was told... so to me it is not worth a repair bill...
|
Thank you ladies....I think I will take Amma's advice and not take the chance. The machine does everything but salute me when I sit down, so I am not going to chance it. thanks

I stopped sewing over pins when the needle hit one and sent a piece of the needle flying into my face.
|
If I want to sew over something before I remove the pin, I stop sewing before I get to the pin and sew over it manually (using the hand wheel on the right of the machine). Hitting a pin can lock up a computerized machine. Want to know how I know?! :shock: :lol: :shock:
Congratulations on your new machine! :-D :-D :-D |
I have an old computerized sewing machine and they told me never to sew over pins as it can throw the timing and everything off
|
I try not to sew over pins. It dulls my needle and throws my machines timing off. Keep in mind I said I try not to. I have on occasion.
