I sewed my finger, or more frequently my thumb, when I was a child of 7 or 8 just learning to sew. I quickly learned to turn the wheel and back the needle out of my digit. I don't think I tore it out more than once. That made my finger too sore, and I wasn't allowed to use the sewing machine until it healed.
