so sorry. sounds familiar, i must have at one time, but nothing major, or i would really remember it.
i come from a very long line of seamstresses, so have known about the dangers from the time i was knee high to a grasshopper.
even worked in a sewing shop for a short time one year, and i always cautioned the girls i had to introduce to the sewing machine about the dangers of sewing your finger. even my 4-H's years ago, i always cautioned, because i knew it could happen.
take care, and get well quick.
