I use clips for sewing knits and thick fabric for coats, handbags etc but sometimes a few pins are perfect too. I cut out almost exclusively with a rotary cutter now. It does take a bit of practice. I've been sewing for 60 years (started young on my mother's knee) and I love all the changes happening in the sewing world. I now have a gorgeous all-singing, all-dancing sewing machine and overlocker and coverstitch machines. I also mostly use PDF patterns - instant gratification. I also wear glasses. Happy sewing.
