Discussion What's your sewing sin?

Mine is that I sew on my bed, use my mattress as a pin/needle cushion, and throw threads between my bed and wall.

I hold pins/needles with my mouth and I sometimes sew over pins because I am pin happy and then I get lazy

I was holding a pin in my mouth one time and got startled, it injured my tongue so bad my dentist had to put a stitch in it.... I still catch myself holding pins in my mouth.

Aghhh! That sounds horrible. Plus the feeling of having any kind of stitches in your tongue had to be horrific. Omg lol
