to put the sewing machine needle through your finger, plus one stitch? Once I put the needle in the up position (after a jerk motion and needle goes down further) I had to cut the thread and take out the thread. Talk about stupid, and hurt.

Been There! Done That! Then you have to pull the needle out. I was lucky in that I had just put in a new needle, so I didn't have to worry about infection. I did it with the Megaquilter, so the needle went all of the way through my finger.

I think almost everyone that has sewn/quilted for any length of time has either did this or come soooooo close you wet your britches.
Keep it clean and do check on the status of your shots, clean needle or not.
