What I have read (and not yet tried myself) in sewing articles is that you remove sequins from seam allowances first before sewing. Thus you save your machine needles!
So you snip the threads in the seam allowances and slide off the sequins in the stitching line before sewing. Retain the sequins because you may need to restitch by hand sequins to cover up bare spots near the seam.
