I've also fumbled my iron and it melted the carpet where it landed.
(Wonder why I'm supposed to keep my sewing stuff downstairs?)
Of course, there are the dropped needles and pins - that sometimes get stepped on.

Oh, i have something similar to a previous poster.
My old machine has that thingy that moves up and down at the front of the machine with the thread - I don't know what it's called. take up lever?
Anyway, when it goes up, it sticks out past the top and front of the machine, and more than once I've been sewing really intense and gotten too close, and smacked my forehead with the lever. NOT PLEASANT!!! It's kind of hard to explain the bruising. Plus, the machine doesn't stop sewing as soon as you release the pedal, so I wound up with a few bruises right next to eachother. :roll: :oops:

We had an old Maytag wringer washing machine (gray, square tubbed) and I got too close while putting the clothes through.
Fortunately, there is a reverse on the wringer.

OK, today I may have done the "silliest" thing ever. I felt like a MORON. I had my small quilt for the doll quilt swap all done and packed, ready to go. My first ever totally completed quilt, and I'm new to the board, so I'm hoping to make at least a semi-good impression, right? Due to work, I couldn't get it to the post office until Saturday. I waited until an hour before the post office closed at noon and then got online to retrieve the address for the person I'm exchanging quilts with. Imagine my horror -- and embarassement -- and frustration -- when I realized I had put the wrong name on the label of the person receiving the quilt! :oops: :cry: So I had to very quickly unpack the quilt, make a new fast label to cover up the carefully appliqued label I had originally made, and get it attached. I cheated and used Steam a Seam 2 tape for fixing hems to adhere the label. I got to the post office 10 minutes before it closed. And I'll admit that the whole time I was thinking of this thread about doing silly things, wondering if I should let you all in on the secret. Shhhh....no one tell kwhite! :roll:
