Ouch! That really doesnt soundgood. Please at least call the Doc!!!!!

Next time we hear from you I hope it is after you have seen the doctor today. Black can mean imminent infection. Sew sorry to hear that you did it. Go to the doc then let us know how you are doing. (((HUGS)))

I hope you are okay!! I have never done that (probably will now) but i can imageine the pain...Ouch
Hope it heels fast :cry:

oh girl. do go get it seen to. i had to wear a metal finger guard for over a month due to the nerves being cut.

YEP! Even if they will just nip off the dangly bit. You should have it checked for infection.

You probably needed stitches. Never think twice about going to the ER, just go!

It's not that bad! Now that it's quit bleeding I can see how much was cut off. It did cut the very end and left a flap...cut thru the nail at an angle. No ligaments or tendons are involved...and I believe the black I saw was blood. I'm going to soak it tonight. Too late for doctor -- no stitches after 24 hrs (according to our doctor) :-D Thank you for your concern. I have a minimal medical background -- worked for a doctor in a one-horse town with 3 mills around us. I "kinda" know when it's serious. This hurt MORE than it was serious.

I did that once and it's not nice. Hope it heals nice, and I hope we never do it again. Take care

I really hate to say this, but I haven't done that yet. Don't want to jinx myself here. I sure hope yours heals fast!

My mother always says that if you draw blood, the garment/item you are sewing will be gorgeous. :D So hope your finger heals quickly. I would wear a finger guard to protect it till it's completely healed. You never realize how many times you bump your fingers till they are injured.
