I'm fighting with the binding on my quilt. I sewed it on the front and am using a decorative stitch from the front to sew the binding down in the back. There are about a zilion pins in this thing. Somehow, as I'm carrying this thing to the sewing machine my feet get all tangled up in the quilt and I end up on the floor with about 6 pins in my butt and the back of my legs. Yikes!
I did something like that once. I heard a siren right outside my window when I was hand sewing. I jumped up to see what was happening. I was barefoot. I dropped my needle and stepped on it. I found HALF of it on the floor. Couldn't get the other half out of my foot. It took the ER doc 15 minutes to get it out, and I was on crutches for DAYS. Did I mention that I was 15 years old and MORTIFIED when everyone asked me what happened.
