I'm wondering if I need a tetanus shot after this little mishap. Yes. I punctured my finger with my sewing machine needle. I NEVER imagined this would happen to me. Mostly because I always imagine it happening and so I sew carefully. But there you have it. It actually didn't hurt as much as I'd imagined it would. It's throbbing a little now hut not bad. It's probably going to hurt like hell tomorrow. (Funny, but the word hell is not in my iPhone's dictionary. It autocorrects to: he'll.) Anyway, it was surprising that blood actually spattered. I didn't expect that. I don't know how my top joint got caught in all this but it's now a little bit swollen. I was making leg warmers for Naiobi since she's decided that 1) she doesn't like tights anymore, 2) she refuses to wear jeans and 3) all her other non-jean pants are too short. That girl is so particular. We FIGHT in the morning over her clothes AND SHE WEARS A UNIFORM!!! I am not looking forward to teenagehood.

Oh Dang! I hope your finger is doing better. It looks pretty terrible in the picture. How scary. One time I got my finger caught under the needle. I don't know how it got there either. Luckily the machine was off but dang if I couldn't get my finger out for a few panicked seconds.
I hope the girls are taking good care of you and your finger.
Oh my gosh! You poor thing! That's such a scary thought. Every seamstress has it in the back of her mind... so far I've made it through with just pin pricks.
Might get a tetanus booster, just in case...
Ouch! I sewed through my thumb parallel to the nail once. There are still blue lycra threads in my thumb, lol. I rang the after-hours doctor and they recommended a tetanus booster just to be safe.
Ouch!!!! I am always worried that I'm going to do this.
If you haven't had a booster recently, please do get one. That does look painful - hope it feels better soon!
WOW!! you really did a number on yourself! hope it feels better soon. i sliced into my nail once while cutting with a rotary cutter... i was on the phone trying to cut up fabric... needless to say i got off the phone and will never let myself get distracted while cutting! it felt like a really deep paper cut.
Ouchie!!!!!!
