Sew over tip of pins. Pins must not come in contact with feed dogs: Never pin on the under-side of the fabric. Sew slowly. If in doubt about sewing over pins, remove each pin as you approach it. STAY-STITCHING "Stay-stitching" is a form of temporary / seaming that prevents stretching of curved edges of garments.
