You mean the Bernina 1008 will actually sew over pins? I gave that up
after I (immediately and very expensively) ruined the timing on the
machine I bought right after the Sears Kenmore died. The Kenmore would
sew over anything, so I assumed the newer machines would. Big mistake,
in that case. It would be great to know they've designed the Bernina
1008 to sew over pins, or do you remove them as you go along?
Thanks,

I had a walking foot for my Bernina, but I sold it. I found myself not
really needing it, and not liking it when I did use it. Save yourself some
money and don't buy one.
You shouldn't need to baste the seam before sewing it with your new Bernina,
UNLESS it's velvet. Pinning should be sufficient. You'll find the machine
feeds beautifully.
