So far no serious injuries here, but I have had a broken sewing machine needle hit my glasses. I hunt for that piece of broken needle until I find it. I had a niece got a needle jammed inside her foot and had to have surgery to remove it. I only recently got a F & P Klutz glove. I was concerned about cutting those HST for the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt. I went to put a straight pin in my mouth yesterday, and really told myself that was bad and just plain stupid. I have two dogs that have to be right by me when I am sewing. Ralph has laid over right on the foot pedal before. I have just started using a stiletto to hold fabric near the presser foot. Maybe it is just getting older and wiser, but I don't want to end up at the emergency room and more surgery.
