Candace, I was wondering if you got the finger guard and if it worked on your machine. Just yesterday our 8 year daughter stitched the needle thru her finger in her sewing class and we had to take her to the hospital to have the needle removed. I have been searching on the internet for a guard but have had no luck. Our daughter is fine, on the way to the hospital and after the initial shock of having a needle thru her finger and after some of the pain went away she started joking around saying she looked like Frankenstein and said that she wished it had happened on halloween. She wants to go back to her sewing class but we would love to find the finger guard to prevent another trip to the hospital.
