    Welcome to the club, although it is a club that I wish I hadn't joined, but it happens. I once tried to sew my thumbnail, but fortunately the needle didn't go far, that's what I get for being in a hurry and not paying attention. Hope you heal quickly.

    Welcome to the club! Glad it wasn't too bad. I've done it to my left pointer finger once and the right one twice with 3 different machines. It is amazingly easy to do, even though I have several stilettos, seam rippers, and a purple Thang. I still keep pushing with my finger and not the stiletto or other things.

    Thank you everyone. It is doing pretty good. A little sore, but not too bad. Just thankful it did not hit the bone or tear out.

    I was FMQ, had my Machinger's gloves on but the fabric, being a little sparkly, did not slide well. I think I kinda came in sideways and just got it!

    I joined the club two times unfortunately. 2nd time hurt the most broke the needle and had to tug with tweezers to get the needle out of my finger.

    I joined the club, then backed up two weeks later when I hit another finger! Mine required a tetanus injection and I lost my nail, but I didn't get blood on the quilt, so I was pretty happy about the lesson learned!
