I'm all about vision so don't want anything in front of my eyes.
And we've heard lots of stories here about adults running the needle through their finger...it is all about attention I think?
I think almost anyone who has sewn for years -- making clothes, household items, or quilt making -- has hit a finger or thumb with a needle. I certainly have and my left thumb is proof; the nail splits in the middle due to a damaged nail bed from a sewing machine needle. That said, I think anything that helps protect children -- or anyone -- learning to sew is a great idea!
