@Patth9 Just in case I wasn't clear,,, the inside of the under side of the collar. Hope this helps

Since there were sewing machines, even the peddle kind with no electricity, women have been sewing over their straight pins. Now, for sure, they are making heaver pins, so not all pins are created equal. I'm talking about the small pins with the tiny colored ends. Attach the interfacing to the under collar side. This way, if you do have some ugly tangle with the iron on interfacing, it will be hidden by the top side with no interfacing. So - interfacing wrong side of bottom collar .

Can you help me? I am quite confused on which side should the interfacing of the collar should be be, the right side or the wrong? I like to use the iron on so on the stand, the interfaced side should be on the outside or the inside of the shirt? And should we attach the stand rights together first, or should it be right side of collar (interfaced or uninterfaced?) to the wrong side of the shirt first? I always end up with the very aweful collar indeed ':( and unpick again and again!

Seamstress know what their doing, And you can sew over pins without breaking needle, just have to place the needle right in the fabric. (I do it all the time and never broke a needle)

Maybe you can sew over quilting pins without damaging the needle - when you're making a quilt and perhaps using quilting needles. But I never leave pins in when I sew clothing. Talk about looking homemade.

You are never supposed to sew over your pins.

#1. You dull the needle by hitting it against the pin as you sew.

#2. The needle can break and you can have a nasty accident.

#3. The stitch can be warped as you sew over the pins.

Bad idea, don't do it.

She's using quilting pins. It looks like the ones sold by Clover. You can sew right over them.
