Glad your finger is okay! I sewed through my finger, through my nail bed and didn't realize it until I noticed the needle was making a "thunking" sound. The needle had broken off in my finger!! I called my husband to bring a pair of pliers and two bandaids. He pulled the needle out and put the bandaid on. I left it on tight for about 1 minute (to stop the bleeding) and then took it off and put the second bandaid on looser and kept on sewing. I was on a roll!! Why stop because of a little needle in my finger. Of course, I had to change the needle on the machine, since it broke! *giggle* And you know that your saliva will take your blood out of fabric!!!
