Learn to Use a Sewing Machine/Step 5
Take out the first pin. You need to know that your sewing machine is designed to sew over pins. But don't sew over pins. Here is the thing, your machine will probably sew over 9 or 10 pins successfully, but will hit the 11th pin or so. If the machine hits a pin, it is usually no big deal. Either nothing will happen, your pin will bend, or your needle will break. But sometimes, something really serious could happen. Once I was sewing over a pin and the needle hit the pin just right. The pin broke and one end came flying out of the machine and hit me just outside my eye. So, why take a chance? Also, sewing over the pins may make little ridges in your fabric and your seams will not be a smooth. That is the whole idea, right?
Before you actually start sewing, take out the first pin. As you sew, take your foot off the foot pedal and take each pin out.
