I was working on my latest charity quilt today and I sewed my finger. I was very very fortunate. I was doing machine applique using the satin stitch. I had the foot pedal unplugged so it was going pretty fast and it went in and out right beside by finger nail. It didn't stop the machine and it didn't skip a stitch. It just kept right on sewing. No blood on the quilt either. That's what is really important!!

So, want to share your sewing over your finger story?

Oooooooooooouch Glad you are ok.

OOOwwww! Knock on wood- have not done that ---yet, but have come very close! VERY close!

Now you are a true Seamstress, according to Upholstery folklore...lol

I have "clipped" my pointing finger many a time, and while upholstering I have stapled myself to my work before. And it usually happened when my pliers were on the cutting table a few inches out of my reach. They say if you staple yourself to a piece of furniture that's when you know your an upholsterer.

OMG!!!!!!! What a trooper...you kept going and you didn't bleed! Yowser!

:?

O my sorry to hear that , thank goodness I've never sewed my finger's yet and sure hope to avoid that ! Glad your doing ok
and you didn't get blood on your quilt.

Ack! That's awful! I'm glad you're okay.

30+ years ago, when my baby was learning to walk, I was sewing and out of the corner of my eye, I saw him stumbling towards me. I put out my hand to stop him and sewed my finger!! needle went right into the side, i disconnected the needle from the machine, grabbed baby and ran to neighbor's house, still not looking at my own finger. she called to her husband and he chuckled, took a pair of pliers and pulled it out,put a bandaid on it for me...i went back home and sewed...keeping baby in playpen, much to his chagrin...

I haven't done that with a sewing machine, but I did manage to sew my finger (under the fabric) to my quilt while hand quilting.
