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!

What she said!

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.
