:oops: :cry: :thumbdown: Yes, you are not alone. I've gone through the end of the finger and even a finger nail or two in my life. The not brightest thing I remember doing, back when dinos roamed the earth, was to get the thread take up lever caught in my overly long/fluffy bangs. I immediatly learned that you really don't have to be that close to the machine. :roll:

I've been sewing for 47 years and haven't sewed through my finger until last week. I was really tired and trying to get some samples done. I didn't go through my nail, just the soft part of my finger. My reaction was to pull my hand back and the needle broke off. I pulled it out, cleaned it up and told my husband I was done sewing for the night. Lesson learned, don't sew when tired. I always tell my students not to cut with their rotary cutters when tired, now I should tell them not to sew either.

ouch! i did that twice when i was about seven, sewing doll clothes on a treadle machine! put bandaids on them and didn't tell anybody; the hardest part was getting the needle out. let me tell you, i haven't done it since [in the last 63 years]

I would have said EXACTLY the same thing.. I haven't done it yet.. but my DH would be upset and then mad that I had done something like that.. so, like I said.. I would have said the very same thing and hoped to get away with it!
