Glad you did bleed on your quilt. Sorry about your accident. But it is only the first of many, a sewing room is an accident waiting to happen. Ask me how I know.

See if you are up to date with tetnus shot and watch for signs of infection.

Wildyard, I seem to do this ever 20 years of sewing. At my age, maybe last week's accident will carry me till heaven. You should get a tetanus shot. I forgot, and sweated out the 8 days before symptoms appear, after looking at the gruesome pics of tetanus sufferers on the net. Tetanus was a horrible sickness, and fatal.

Luckily I didn't bleed on my quilt!!!!
It sure does hurt tho. Sighhhhhhh, hope I can get back to my quilting soon.
