Yea, I haven't ran the needle into my finger--yet-- but I have had my pinched by the screw on the shank while sewing telling me I'm too close. Then i cut through the tip of my finger with the rotary cutter, twice, two different fingers, two days in a row!
I'll join the stupid club too. I don't remember home ec teacher saying that sewing was hazardous to our health- she kept saying what a economic thing it was.
