/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I've seen people say it's fine, and I've seen others say it's not. personally, I've broken needles on pins, so I don't do it anymore.

home sewers are really overly-obssessed with using pins though. try to get away from using so many, or any at all. I used to pin every few inches no matter what I was sewing together, now I try to not at all, unless it's something where I really need them. if your fabric is cut precisely and your pieces are sandwiched together correctly at the start, you should be fine. learn from the pros (manufacturers, who don't fuck w pins much)
