Mary,,honey take it easy , soo sorry this happened and from the other messages ; it happens pretty often. I sewed my finger through the nail with my Mom's sewing machine when I was about 5. She freaked but Daddy stopped her from jerking my finger out. He lifted the needle out by turning the wheel. She never threatened me and never let me near it again. I've only been quilting about 3 years. take care, ok.
