Sewing a Finger
#72
I also sewed my finger a few weeks ago. Needle broke in my finger when it fractured the bone. Had to go to urgent care to have th needle removed and x-rays. They said this type of injury has a high risk of infection and some quilters have had to have there fingers amputated because of infection. I was put on anitbiotics for 15 days and also have to see a hand surgeon. I have needle guards on all my machines now.

I did that once while sewing a red skirt. When I got to the ER the nurse asked if it was a designer skirt with flesh? It was just a good thing the fabric was red! So I truly know what you must be feeling. Hope you don't get an infection.
