I sew over pins too! I also seem to put pins in my mouth to hold them.

I have just finished a hand quilted one and told myself I should know how to quilt by now, but seem to keep doing things my way when it comes to quilting instead of doing like the books and instructions tell me to do. In some places of the quilt I can do pretty good with the quilting process then in other spots I don't do good. been quilting for many years too. I still have hope tho that one day I'll get it right.

I wait too long to change both my sewing machine needle & rotary blades
I also have a hard problem keeping things organized in my sewing room when I start working on a big project

I do not sew over pins. I just bought a long arm so I'm glad that is not a habit I need to break. My biggest bad habit is fabric shopping. I don't buy anything else, but dearly love fabric and notions and now pantograph's.

I leave my sewing room in a mess. I seem to be more creative with all the fabric out and all around me. Just love organization but sewing room doesnt show it. However I just spent 8 days cleaning out, organizing, and cleaning every square inch of space and organizing all tools and fabrics...I give it a week!!! I really need to break this bad habit!
I can not focus on one project at a time and finish it, I just want to do them all...is that a bad habit? yea I guess so.

I also sew over pins. I don't always finish a project before starting another. Right now I have two quilt tops to quilt and started piecing a new quilt.

I always have way too many projects going at a time! Holding pins in my mouth when I'm working is another one.
