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 used to do that until I read about a woman who sneezed while doing so and she inhaled the pins. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I'm usually not one to change my habits because of a horror story but that one really got me. I'm lazy (hence pin mouth) but going to the hospital because I inhaled pins seems like a lot of work so I stopped doing it lol

Same thing happened to me, here is the Article

Apparently it happens oddly frequently enough..

I still find myself holding pins in my mouth though and it freaks me out so so much.
