so.. you can sew over the pins? and also. Can you do it forward all the way, then go back all the way or should you do it in sections? Sorry... We're sewing a pillow in my class and she really wasnt clear on all this so I decided to look it up so I dont mess up..

@SilverHumaneHorse The Singer models with the slant shank can sew over pins which are at right angles to the sewing line. If your machine isn't set up for sewing over pins, you need to remove them as you get to them (thankful for my Singer slant shank!).

thanks for the video! :D

now i fully understand backstitching. YAY!

btw i was just wondering what is a slant shack? sorry im a newbie!

[sewmarm]

The slant shank is a special shank (the bit that holds the foot onto the machine) fhat Singer made so that one can even sew over pins without breaking the sewing machine needle. It's COOL.
