I'm in this "camp" too. I am really surprised at all the replies " yes, I sew over pins"....... The cost of the machines should definitely convince one to be as careful with them as possible......and if it's a vintage one, all the more reason to treat with care....cannot be replaced! And, even when I did sew clothing...(taught by mother), no sewing over pins.
