That's horrifying! I have sewn my finger (just flesh) once or twice, but generally get more injured while handquilting - the bottom hand gets pricked so often that it bleeds. I've also had several thimble failures where the needle ended up embedded in my finger...
through the thimble. Thus I know that a person's own saliva contains the necesary enzymes to dissolve their own blood. Next time you bleed on your fabric, drool all over it and you will not have a stain.
