I've joined your ranks...only with a long arm...fun, fun, fun!

It has been a few year since I sewed my finger. I have also dropped my rotary cutter when open while barefoot. I wear shoes when cutting now.

So we can consider quilting an Extreme Sport?!

Ouch! I'm happy to say I haven't joined this club ... yet! Hope your finger is better today! I am a member of the cutting the end off your finger with the rotary cutter club though LOL

Oh I hope your finger is feeling better now. I am always afraid I will do that too! Take care.

Ooooowie! It does happen so fast that it doesn't hurt going in, it's the taking it out that smarts!!!! I saw a story on the news this week about a beautiful baby girl that just died from whopping cough. They say for adults you should get your shots updated every 10 years. I know it's been more than that for me so I am going to update. Babies can't get their shot until 2months so they are vulnerable if they are exposed.

Ouch! I don't think I have ever sewn my finger. I did tear up one right after I got my embroidery machine by reaching down before it was done cutting the thread and pulling it out of the way. No needle, just the mechanism.
But, I am a frequent flier with the rotary cutter. Somehow I seem to knick my knuckles a lot. |
I buried a needle in the bone when sewing a silk organza wedding dress, so not bleeding on it was a priority. I sat there attached to the machine and called for my sleeping family. No luck, so I had to reach around with my free hand and remove the needle. I woke my husband with a needle in one hand and pliers in the other. I remember it throbbing for a few days. My sympathy to you.

That's horrifying! I have sewn my finger (just flesh) once or twice, but generally get more injured while handquilting - the bottom hand gets pricked so often that it bleeds. I've also had several thimble failures where the needle ended up embedded in my finger...through the thimble. Thus I know that a person's own saliva contains the necesary enzymes to dissolve their own blood. Next time you bleed on your fabric, drool all over it and you will not have a stain. Alison |
