42/365: Pinning On

I've lost count of how many times I've been a number to a jersey or skinsuit, maybe 40-50 over the last two years. I have a system for how I pin a number. I always use seven pins. I line the bottom of the number up with the bottom of the graphic on my side panel. The closest edge goes either on the seam or edge of the graphic. And I never use the holes in the number. I pin flat through fabric and the number. It flaps too much if you use the holes. It's not that I'm superstitious, it's just that this is the way that I've found to work best. And the way this cx season has gone, I find I have to be doing something well.
