I don't think this is what they meant. :oops: :oops: :oops:

oh my

wellllll it might be one of the reasons they say not to sew over pins! I'm always afraid of breaking a needle tho!

not too great on the needle:)

haven't ever seen it done like that. =)

I sew over silk pins all the time....but I slow the machine to go over them.

I really like the quilt in your avatar picture. It looks like a maple leaf with a heart in the center. Is that right? It is lovely.

I am just amazed the needle went through the pin head and did not break.

I am laughing out loud

Yes and they are so thin you can do it. Been there done that. Thanks for making me feel human

oh my goodness. i bet that made noise!!!
and i agree, love the avatar with maple leaves. lovely.

Wow ! Didn't know it would do that!!

oh no! I actualy read in a book, that could happen. Glad to see she wasn't lying ;-)

I can't imagine what non-quilters would say about some of the things we do, remember last week when I put the machine needle through my finger, but we keep sewing.

WOW LOL

I zigzaged my thumb this week.

Now THAT takes talent!!!

Oh my goodness. I thought I was the only one. And everytime I reuse that particular straight pin, it makes me laugh all over again. The needle continued to work as if it never happened. The hardest part was getting the thread back out of the holes! Thank you for making me feel less alone!

What sewing machine were you using to do that?!

I've done this before too :)

wow thats not good

:shock: :shock: :shock: That was one sharp needle.....WAS!

Aren't you glad it wasn't your finger? Did that once, I bled for the longest time b/c I was taking blood thinners. Hurt a bit, too!

OUCH!

Now that made me laugh out loud. Hilarious !!

Ooops!

LOL I would have thought the needle would have broke within the first hole. That is to funny.

I had to chuckle at that. I had the same thing happen a few years ago, and just a few days ago the pin came out of the flower. Mine actually had some thread in it.

OUCH! :shock:

So glad you put this up on the board. I thought I was the only one that ever did anything like this. The darn iron will also melt these cute pins.

you have given it a little fringe :lol:

Oh my gosh, you just made my day. That is so funny. Its a wonder you didn't break or at least bend the needle.

I did that the other day. Were you surprised that it didn't break the needle like I was?

Hang my head as I admit, yep have done that one also, :)
Cool part is didn't break the needle, were able to pick it back out of the seam, didn't send the seam in a strange direction, like it does if you hit a round headed pins.
JMO... I do like this style of pin. :)

lol i love it!

Hey how did you get my picture? I know I've done that a few more times than I'd like to admit!

I have pins that look like that too!

lol.

guess your machine does thicknesses well :)

Last week I ironed some of my pins and melted the tops.
