I put my pins in the same way on sewing machine or serger. I do not use the blades.. so I don’t pin away from the seam.
I also don’t always pull my pins when using them and a sewing machine… in 50 yrs.. I ‘ve not broken a needle.. or harmed my fabric or sewing machine by sewing over them…

I run a magnetic pin wand around the floor when I’m afraid I dropped a pin and when I’m done for the day.

Count before and then after your project.

If I can remember to not push them past the edge of the fabric, I can get by without creating a wall of tiny spikes to scratch myself on as I tend to spead sew and caution usually is not part of the deal. Oh, well. A little spit applied to any blood spots breaks down the spot. Yes, I am definitely “Old School”. Happy sewing! ; )

My grandma said she does it that way to prevent the pins from picking up extra fabric by accident.

Good tip on serger pinning. I pin my sergering but not like that I’ll have to give it a swing.

So many things, I have a really light touch on that I find I don’t really nee to pin. Now, a gathered *anything?* That is getting the business pinned out of it. Gathers and ruffles are some of my favorite things, but gracious do I have a heard time with them!

I’m still a beginner, and I had no idea that you should remove the pins as you go….no wonder I’ve gone thru so many needles!
