Calling Nurse
Jan--you won't believe what I just did.
Yup sewed my finger--pointer left hand. Needle broke off too. Fortunately blood did not fall onto the quilt and it has a lot of white in it! So ran upstairs with hand up--got the cold water going; band aids out; antibiotic salve; no longer bleeding but throbs a little. Whew close call--last time I did it was in the 80"s; but had a bit of the needle left in my right pointer finger. That one went through the nail. Course it was about midnight then too. ER MD was an older fellow--didn't believe me when I insisted that there was a piece in my finger. But he cut into the end of the finger until low and behold he found it. Oh ladies just be careful!
Okay back to machine quilting--I was doing some straight lines so not FMQing.
