I did this about a yr ago while sewing in my basement---needle went all the way through--I yelled and friend came down to help me as I was caught and yelping---he asked me what could he do---I said "STAY BACK-DO NOT COME NEAR" until I figure how to get it back up high enough so that I could finally pinch and squeeze to get my finger out from under-----oh- it did hurt so bad----
