Hi I was teaching my grandchildren to sew many years ago and sewing and talking and what do I do but sew my finger needle stuck in the finger and the machine stopped so I took the needle out and asked my grandson to please pull the needle out and don`t do what I did. and tried to calmly put ice on the finger but it hurt so bad. Both th children were speechless. Later we laughed about it and they teased me for a long time after that especially when I made them a few quilts. Janey
