I was practicing free motion quilting. The piece really didn't matter, it was just a scrap. But when I sewed through my thumb I thought I'd pass out, then wanted to swear and sit there... but I realized I had projects around that I DIDN'T want to bleed on, so I managed to get to the bathroom. Good thing I had had a tetanus shot fairly recently (and I hope all of you remember that issue!)

One of my friends has a daughter in the garment industry in NYC. This girl has sewed since she was a very young child... and she just managed to sew her finger.

Made me feel better, since the BOM at the LQS laughed uproariously at me.
