I'm sorry.... but I laughed so hard coke nearly came out my nose when I read this! LOL
I can imagine how embarassing that would be!
My worst (so far) is sewing a pile of about 30 or 40 hst, chain piecing, one after the other, the whole lot of them, then discovering the bobbin ran out halfway down the first one.

I was moving along quite well with meandering and I heard a thunk...
looked down and saw that I had sewn through the head of the safety pin without breaking the needle!

Gosh -- you all sound like me!! I've sewn stuff to the clothes I was wearing, got a needle stuck in my finger (I was just trying to change the darn thing), scorched a block that was being stubborn about laying flat and when I was making the HST for my blue/yellow swap -- I ran out of bobbin thread about half way through and didn't notice....Some days I should just go back to bed :lol: :lol: :lol:

When I was changing the blade on my rotary cutter, I was wiping the oil off of the blade with a paper towel and used too much pressure on it so that it slipped and sliced into the top of my thumb. I didn't think it would ever stop bleeding, after several band-aids. Who knew a major artery runs through our thumbs?

Thanks for the laughs, girls & boys.
Maybe it's a good thing I don't have enough time to sew as much as you all.
And I learned a long time ago that it doesn't pay to sew when I'm getting tired....too many mistakes!

Well apart from strip pieceing several rows when the thread had run out, my Janome machine was making a lot of rattling noises. I spent ages checking everything, even removing all the spare feet from the on board storage, no difference. I switched off and put it away Later when I returned to the machine I noticed the noise had gone. The reason, I had closed the top cover, it was the lid that was rattling!!!!
