Don't feel stupid! No one knows how many times I have been in my sewing room and done something ( not this, but close enough) and thought to myself " no one in the world would be so wrapped in the project as to do this!" and I can tell you each time I felt small and stupid thinking only me! Thanks for sharing and I am so grateful you are safe. I wear a scar on left forefinger from 3 stitches and carelessness with rotary cutter.
