That seems to be my favorite type of sewing. It must be since I do it so much! Usually it's only the top layer or two of skin, so at least no blood on the quilt.

Haven't done it since, sure pray I don't

I did the exact same thing, with the same treatment about 60 years ago. Haven't done it since....needless to say, I learned a very hard lesson. I am very, very careful and use an awl now all the time.....no short cuts....:o)

OMG I can say I have never done that. (knocking on wood). I did however slice the end of my index finger off with my rotary cutter. I went out right away and bought quards for my rulers. The good thing is when my finger nail grows out it is not noticable.

OK, I have to ask. How did you hit your head?

I was helping with a 4H sewing camp, and as I was threading the needle, the little girl pressed on the foot pedal. Luckily it just took off the outside layer of my nail.
