Just got my booster for tetanus and pertussis last month. Who knew quilting could be so hazardous? I hope your boo boo heals up quickly. Natural instincts are hard to resist. I sewed through the edge of my finger and my natural instinct was to yank my hand away from the pain. I would have only had a small puncture wound but instead I got a tear through to the edge of my finger. It took about a month before the finger was feeling somewhat better.
