After more than 40 years and millions of stitches on a sewing machine - I just sewed through my finger! The needle broke into 4 pieces, so just a small piece was left in my finger; I got away from my project - so no blood on it. I pulled the little piece and went to the kitchen to clean up. The 2 men in my house got a little pale when I told them about it. :lol:

Ouch!

Oooo, sorry! Make sure all pieces come out and your tetanus is up to date (if you haven't had in 10 yrs, you need it). But if you had a tetanus only shot over two years ago, you could get Tdap (Adacel) which would also protect against diptheria and whooping cough (pertussis). If you are around kids, it's a good idea.
|
That make me hurt all over. Been there done that!
|
I can just feel that! i have done that a couple of times.
|
Ouch...and glad you got all the pieces out...take care,
K |
OUCH! but as a true quilter your first thought was to get away from the fabric lol
|
I know my day is coming but have not done it yet. Feel better.

watch it carefully! |
Sorry you were injured by your machine. Four pieces, that must have hurt, A LOT! Hope it heals quickly.
|
OUCH...I would get it checked out if there is a lot of redness...and as someone else said...if you haven't had a tetanus shot in awhile it would be good to get one.

Ouch! Good advice on the tetanus shot.
|
Oh, OUCH!! Makes me hurt to think about it!
|
Ouch!!! Been there, done that; although I was in high school when I did it! Sewing at home, OOPS, went to neighbor to get him to take it out!
|
Oh no!! You could have gone another 40 years without doing that!! I hope it heals quickly. Ouch!! Take care of yourself now...
|
OMG-that makes me queasy to even think of it! Blechhhhh! Yeah-and I work in the ER! Maybe because you are a fellow quilter?
|

|
That's horrible! I hope you're feeling better now.
|
Ohhhhh My finger hurts for you But get all the pieces out or it will hurt alot more speaking from experience
|
Ouch!... got a chuckle about the men getting pale.
|
Ice it down if you need to and soak every night in hot eposom salt water for a few days.
|
Oh my gosh..... I hope you are feeling okay and that you got all that nasty needle out!
Hugs Caroline |

yowzee! I did that as a teenager when I first learned to sew. just as blap & loriel commented you protected that fabric! Hope it heals quickly....keep sewing....carefully!
|
Thanks everyone for the sympathy and well wishes. I am up to date on my tetnus and it was brand new needle, so it was nice and sharp. Surprisingly enough, it doesn't hurt too much, but I suppose tonight when I am trying to go to sleep it will throb. The two men - my husband and son - have recovered nicely. I put a bandaid on and went back in to finish the project that I was working AND used my rotary cutter and hot iron without further incident!
|
War wound! Be proud. You are a REAL quilter now... you proved it when you worried about your fabric first. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
|
Ouch, I had a needle go through my nail once.
|
Just reading this made my stomach flip. I have done it as well, and I feel your pain.
|
EWWW the pain of it all....crafty_linda_b
|
My MIL said you are not a sewer till you have sewn through your finger "OUCH"
|
Eeeekkkkekekekekkkk, that made my stomach curl as soon as I read about your finger. OUCH! ! ! Been there, done that AND I've stabbed myself in the foot with a pair of scissors. I try to stay away from heavy equipment (lol, scissors and needles) as much as possible now, lol...So sorry, I hope you recover quickly.
|
Oh, shudder! Makes me wonder, is my time coming up sometime soon?
|
Feel sorry for you. I did that with my new machine, but it didn't hurt at all, couldn't even tell that i sewed my finger. Hope you feel better.
