Comment by Kathleen on November 12, 2009 at 12:21pm: Darts are pressed toward the center of the body in the final press. Back darts toward the spine, front darts toward the bellybutton and horizontal darts are pressed down or parallel to the floor. If you don't want to spend money on having your machine timed or risk breaking needles I don't recommend sewing over pins.
