Long story short...yes, the needle is very sharp, and someone on the board said to use your own spit the remove blood from a quild...it works!
Finger will be OK in a few days...so will the quilt...
So, now you know why you are told to guide the fabric! LOL I also keep a couple different size stilettos handy when I am doing intricate spots --better the needle hit that than me. Also keep up on your tetanus shots ---
