That seems to be my favorite type of sewing. It must be since I do it so much! Usually it's only the top layer or two of skin, so at least no blood on the quilt.

Haven't done it since, sure pray I don't
I did the exact same thing, with the same treatment about 60 years ago. Haven't done it since....needless to say, I learned a very hard lesson. I am very, very careful and use an awl now all the time.....no short cuts....:o)

All I can say is Ouch! Let's be carefully out there.

OMG I can say I have never done that. (knocking on wood). I did however slice the end of my index finger off with my rotary cutter. I went out right away and bought quards for my rulers. The good thing is when my finger nail grows out it is not noticable.

OK, I have to ask. How did you hit your head?

I was helping with a 4H sewing camp, and as I was threading the needle, the little girl pressed on the foot pedal. Luckily it just took off the outside layer of my nail.

Ouch...I'm glad that it wasn't any worse than what it was...geesh.....I'm glad that you are okay.
