Joost De Cock b34a2ee2ed feat: Flat import of markdown repo
This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content
from our markdown module.

We've imported this without history because the repo contains our
blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi.

Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo
to import the full history.

Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo
at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown

Pinning

Sewing pins are part of the basic sewing supplies

Fabric being pinned into place

Pinning is used whenever you use sewing pins to hold things in place.

Examples of where pinning is commonly used are:

  • Pinning a seam in place before sewing it
  • Pinning an ornament, pocket, or other part in place before attaching it
  • Pinning darts or other pattern changes while fitting the garment on a model

Pinning is never permanent, but merely a temporary measure to hold things in place.

Pinning and basting are different techniques for similar situations
