Long story short...yes, the needle is very sharp, and someone on the board said to use your own spit the remove blood from a quild...it works!
Finger will be OK in a few days...so will the quilt...
Hope that finger gets better real soon, easier to quilt with all digits working.
Your story brought back bad memories for me I use to sew for Rose Marie Reed Swimsuits. I worked on the pin tuck machine, two needles. Long story short I ran both needles through my index finger on my right hand and I will be darned if I did not do the sam thing a few days later to the left one. It did get me the rest of the day off. But don't think I ejoyed the free time, finger throbbing to much. Thanks for the memory. Ha MNM
