Anyone else so stupid as
#31
My machine attacked me last week. It was jealous that I pulled out another machine for the quilting. I still carry the hole in my fingernail... looks quite interesting. It will be a challenge when I get my nails done for my son's wedding.--- but it's a couple of months away, so probably grown out by then!

I hate to admit it but yes, it has happened to me, with the longarm. It went through the nail and part of the finger, not too bad considering what could have happened. From now on let's all be more careful!
Irishrose - I can't believe you were more concerned about the silk organza than about the needle in your bone! You're one dedicated quilter!

Not stupid, these things happen because our fingers can get in there in the first place. Not like a saw which has a guard to prevent accidents. I hear your pain and I am going right over to look at my Janome to see if I can make it safer for me, as I am a major clutz and my mind wanders when sewing.
Hope you heal quickly! You are brave!!
