The worst part is that as soon as you realize it's happened you try to jump up in alarm and are firmly anchored to the machine by your pointer. So, there you are, flopping about with a sewing machine sprouted out the end of your hand trying to work up the courage to back the needle out. And, no, ladies, it's really not as painful as you'd think, just really unnerving.[/quote]

It's not so much the needle going INTO the finger - it's getting the needle OUT of the finger - - -[/quote]

During a quilting class my friend sewed into her finger, I had a hard time getting the needle out of her finger. EEEW
She was more worried about bleeding on her fabrics.
:shock: :( :lol:

Or when you can't find your seam ripper and you carefully take out each stitch, spending ten times the amount of time you would normally spend if you had the ripper... only to find that when you get up, it was in your lap the entire time! (THAT'S when it's time to go eat chocolate!!)

doncha just hate it when you're handsewing on a road trip and your husband At Last pulls into a gas station and you really gotta Go! and you realize you have embroidered your cute little redwork patch to your slacks and you really gotta Go! and there's no time to undo the stitching (because you really gotta Go!) and so you run into the mapco with the upsidedown redwork lady now the focal point of your outfit? heh-heh...
