I too have the screw that holds the needle and it has wacked me a few times!!! I did sew through my finger in Home Ec. Class many many moons ago! Do not want a repeat preformance. I watch Leah Day's videos and gasp several times as she FMQ's and the fingers come awfully close to the needle!

Not just once...but twice, on the same flippin' day!!!!Grandma always said.."haste makes waste". It also hurts alot!!!

Fortunately, I have never done that, but there seems to be a lot of members on this Board recently, who have. MMMMMMM wonder if it is in the air??

As a matter of fact, I sewed thru my fingernail while FMQ a quilt for my nephew. I think I was so "in shock" about what had happened, I didn't really think too much about it. Luckily, no blood got on the quilt--that would have been worse :lol:

Yes, I have sewn through a finger and lived to tell. It was surprising to me how quick it healed. :oops:

Yes , I did it few years back. good idea to be up on you tetnise shot. Spelling!!??

yes I did that when I was 15! What a testimony to the stength and integrity of the machine.

I haven't, but have come close a few times!

I've done it twice! Once the day before going on vacation! You think I would learn.

OUCH! I'm hurting for you.


I did FMQ my Machingers on to a quilt the other day. But otherwise, no issues yet. I'm freakishly afraid of sewing one of fingers.
