My prayers for a swift recovery. This is a good warning to be careful no matter how long we have been sewing.

You must have been concentrating very hard on your sewing. I hope you are okay.

I did that about 30 years ago. However, the needle didn't break. Hubby had to help get the needle out of the machine before I could get the needle out of me. Hasn't happened since. I wasn't a quilter then.

HOPEFULLY, we only have to do this once. Glad it is now over for you! Heal quickly.

OUCH! I hope your ok.

I am so sorry. It hurts doesn't it? I have done this too, years ago when I was a teenager.

Ow. Not funny in the least. I do find it notable, however, that yours is about the fourth story about sewing the finger I've read since joining the Board, and I think each and every one of them mentioned whether or not they got blood on their project! I had to smile at that part. Do take care about infection.

Oh........big ouch! I have come close but have managed to avoid a direct hit so far. I suppose one day my luck will run out but I don't look forward to it! Hope you heal quickly and I know you will be more cautious in the future!!!

I had a needle break years ago and a piece fly into my eye. A trip to the eye doc later confirmed I had a scratch on my eye. Thanks be to God it did not pierce the eye.

Honestly, I have always been more worried about this...but now since my eyes are older and I need to wear glasses when I sew, my eyes are probably much safer now.

Sorry to hear. Praying for fast healing.

Ouch! Hope you feel better soon.

OW! I can only imagine how that must have hurt! Hugs!

Welcome to the club :) Did you make sure all the pieces are out of your finger?

Take care.

My mother told me you aren't a true quilter or seamstress until you have sewn your finger. OUCH!!! is right I didn't gain that merit badge for a very long time however yes once is more than enough for me. The things mothers come up with...

oooooooooooooooo...so sorry that has to hurt.

Well, at least it wasn't a power saw. My DH insisted my sons learn to sew before they ever used a power saw.

always save the fabric first! Men are babies always LOL

That is a big Oweee! Hope all is well!

That hurts. The men's reaction is what they always do. Glad you were able to get the piece out without major problems.

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:

May God heal you quickly! I did that when I about 13 years old. Can's say I've done it since.

Ouch! It must have hurt! I used to live in Rochester, MN. Now in Northern CA, but love MN still!

When I did it I was a teen and i still get queasy thinking about it--Make sure to keep it clean AND stay out of the dish water :) you don't want it getting infected

Me too. Ulp!

me too - my biggest issue this weekend was rotary cutter nicks! But my day is coming for the needle!

Oh that sounds painful. Hope your finger isn't too sore.

oh that will be sore. Good think u didnt ask them to pull it out.

mine is just about healed from when I did it now too long ago. Do take care, hugs and smiles

ditto. :shock:
i'm on borrowed time now, been sewing since the 60's and didn't do that .......... yet. 8-)

Bet it hurts more now, then when it first happened. Big OUCH!!! I've come close... and dread the day. Hope you heal quickly... and please, don't hold it against your machine.

I have an older Viking and I put the needle thru my finger. I had to go to ER. When I got there I had needle sticking out of the top and thread hanging out of the bottom. When I gotack home all I had to do was put a new needle in the machine and it sewed just fine!

I did the same thing...on my longarm! Ouch, ouch, ouch! Hope it heals quickly! And I too, loved the comment about the men in the house :-P

So sorry, glad nothing more serious.

I had that happen only the tip of the needle went in with thread had to pull thread outthen with the tip on an angle evert time I moved hand I was in severe pain went to E.R. had to do surgery to get tip out NEVER EVER want to do it again!!!

Have to share an "OUCH" too!

Last week I succeeded in cutting a chunk of my finger off. It doesn't look too bad this week - healed nicely. It's obvious to me, but no one else. Yes, I ran from my fabric, too, because I didn't want any to get on it!

been there so i feel for you at least you managed to get away from your fabric in time. feel better. sue

Many years ago in my first year of teaching .... having given instructions and warnings, one student sewed right over her finger. She was so intent in guiding the fabric, she forgot to let go. The needle broke and part of it was in her finger....went to ER to have it removed. Gives me the willies!!

It hurts just hearing about it. Ouch.

Sounds about right for the men in the house.
