Yes, I did it too with the zig zag going....my left middle finger went under....sure was a terrible shock when it happened too.....got tetanus shot the same day...took a while to heal...really am cautious now....good luck on the healing..was back in 74...did get a lit blood on husband shirt i was making him, but immediately got it out...was more concerned with all the work i had done on it..then took care of finger..I know that sounds goofy but i had put a whole lot of work into that shirt.
