I rarely pin anything anymore.....Like you, I feel the seams lock together and then hold them tight with my finger while easing under the needle.....and my seams are usually :lol: :lol: right on.....I also ease in any extra on the bottom side.....I don't have time to be too fussy, if it's off a bit, it's ok cause most people will never see it by the time the quilt is quilted and washed!
