Oh Fay - that must have been horrendous for you. I am sorry to hear your finger has not been the same since you injured it. I might add that my mother did the same thing using a treadle machine when I was a small child and still bears the scar on the end of her finger. So it is not only the electric ones that can do the damage.
Pass those chocolates and coffee on to Fay please, she sounds like she missed out on them the first time around.
