Do you put a pin in the fabric?
Who knew the subject of pinning involves more than just simply putting a pin in fabric, but it does, and I’d like to share a few tips. First of all, toss the bent pins. I can’t tell you how many pincushions and pin boxes I reach into in the course of teaching, and find them full of bent pins. They’re done! They’ve done their work!
Which is the best way to pin threads?

When do you use red pins on a cutting line?
Pins can also be used as an indicator. When I have a little issue or problem with a seamline or cutting line, I use my red pins ONLY. The red pin indicates there was an issue and I am quick to take measures to remedy it. It just seems natural to do it this way as well.
Why do you put pins parallel to the seams?
If the pins are placed parallel to the seam, the fabric has very little movement, it isn’t as flexible in my hand as I work, and in the case of the lining, parallel pins don’t do a very good job of holding the fabric close to the zipper coil. Your stitches, therefore, won’t be as accurately placed as they should be.
