The most useful random sewing tip I can think of is to put the pins in perpendicular to the line of sewing, not parallel. Doesn't do as well when the fabric needs to be kept under control (ie. pin basting), but is much less likely to cause me to break a needle by sewing on to the pin.
I don't remember where I got that one from, but was very very pleased about learning it.
