That's risky - those needles are sharp and it is so tempting to reach into the path of it - particularly when there is the distraction of children. Not something I would risk.
OOOOOOH...that's not a good idea...I'd go further than "risky"...that's Dangerous! Safety first, Safety second, Safety, third...etc. Please don't try this. Perhaps someone you know would loan you a darning foot to try before you purchase one of your own.
