Evidently this wasn't one of my better days at the sewing machine. Had it not been for a "has to be finished" quilt, I wouldn't have been sewing at all....way too hot. I got my finger in too close and the needle went clear through the finger, and then broke, leaving behind a 3/8" needle piece stuck in there. OUCH! I got the piece out, but am not sure that there isn't still a small piece still in there
No insurance, so no xray....will just have to wait it out.
