OK,
How long does it take the human nervous system to react to 1600 stitches per minute while sewing?
My answer: 3 1/2 stitches along the inside fold of my fingernail and right off the end of my finger.
My brand new Viking Megaquilter on ten foot quilt frame, set to high speed 'cause I was in a hurry.
I let go of the left handle to smooth a ripple in the top near the needle, then shifted direction with my right handle, meandered my finger right into the quilt!!!
Wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't jerked real hard on the next to last whole stitch and made the needle break.
Last stitch was with a broken needle shaft.
Took a half hour to find all the needle pieces and make sure none was in the finger.
Took two hours to pick all the dark blue lint out of the finger.
Oh, and there was no blood on the quilt!!
