Much better thanks.
Memory stick is definitely dead though.

So sorry that has happened. Good advice about the memory stick! Thanks. Will keep you and your finger in my prayers.
Hugs,
J

oh dear, hope the rest of the day will go easier. Good recovery of the finger, about the memory stick, at had the same last time, my machine did not open the files anymore, but I was still able to open them on the PC so I saved them again. Perhaps your designs can dbe opened the same.so all I can do now is give you a big hug:

I always do safely remove so I still don't know what happened. Luckily the designs are mostly still on my PC so it isn't a disaster - just a nuisance.

Update - memory stick still dead as a door nail. Finger much improved although a tad tender.
Thanks for your solidarity!

OUCH ....hope your day is better tomorrow

Ouch and Ouch! SO sorry to hear you had a hurtful day! Hope both your finger and your thumb-drive feel better soon! Funny that a flash-drive/memory stick is also called a "thumb drive" Why not a finger drive;>)

Everything is telling you to take a break. Go and enjoy other things. Your finger needs something cold. Your memory stick after a clean up with a small brush will hopefully work again. Maybe your next puppet could be a nurse. LOL
Hope you feel better soon

Love the nurse suggestion!

You poor thing - I've never done that, but I can imagine what it must be like. Good luck with the memory stick - it may have had a little hissy fit itself and will be better tomorrow. The sun will come out tomorrow! etc. etc. etc. Love Chris

Ouch. Yes I think it's best to take a break for a while. As has been already said things come in 3's.

I do know how that feels! The first time I did that I just happened to be using a big commercial machine and I made several stitches before I could stop it. My finger did not hurt then but ooohhh did it hurt the next couple of days. I soaked it in very warm salty water the 1st day and then used alcohol and peroxide for several days. The 1st stitch went through my thumbnail. Everyone thought I needed to go to the Dr. but that is not my favorite thing to do so I doctored it myself and all of a sudden the pain ceased but I did not forget to be very careful and pay attention when using one of the commercial machines!

That sounds horrific and made my stomach turn. (I have a very strong stomach as well!) My injury was very small in comparison.

That was probably very painfull!!!! Hope you are ok

Well, Sue... Friday the 13th was last month. Are you trying to make up for lost time? LOL! Good heavens, how in the world did you manage to get your finger in the way? OUCH!!! Sends shivers up my spine just thinking about it. Sorry you're having a bad, though.

I was adjusting the additional layer of fabric on a puppet. I should really learn from this but I will probably do exactly the same again before long.

and sometimes leaks on your project! I thought I could reach in quickly and grab a thread tail while the machine was running--took me two times running a needle in my finger to learn not to do that. Makes for a very sore spot.

Ouch, that had to have hurt!! They say bad things happen in three's - I think you should go to bed!! lol, hope tomorrow is a better day for you!! Hugs to you, Laura*

Just keep your pets out from under the bed! heehee.

Sorry for your day. When that happens it is best to quit while you are ahead.
Do hope you have not lost all your data. I always try to keep mine in a couple of places, one of the invariably ends up being cyberspace. LOL
Have a good weekend.
God bless

My son put me on to a tool called dropbox, where you can store your designs in the cloud. You get access from any computer. Details are at www.dropbox.com. My whole family use it now and it is so easy to store and transfer files.

Memory sticks can be fixed. Use it for something else for a while, clean it and reload designs. It works for me. For the needle and the finger no comments LOL. Hugs Marie

Oh my gosh, I can relate !!!!!! Broke a needle of in my finger last year some time, and it really hurts, Marthie had a bad one too.
They say things comes in three's, so I agree with your third point. LOL.

I do agree with you, it does!!!! LOL LOL LOL
and it hurts...Ouch *********

Ouch, ouch, ouch! Must hurt a lot. And if your finger starts throbbing, hurt to much. So the best thing is to rest for today and seat to watch TV.

Oh, shame!! Poor you. I hope your finger feels better after a hot cup of coffee.(or tea). Hopefully your stick will be usable again. Try it again later. Put it in your computer and check if it is active, better than risk your embroidery machine. Lovies and all the best.

Goodness! I think it IS time to have a cup of tea! Hope your finger is ok & quits throbbing! Scares me about the memory sticks! What to do..I lost designs I had on a CD just out of the blue; now you lose them on a flashdrive! I do have an external drive with them on it, but don't trust those either!!

Ouch! #3 is good advice and we would all be wise to remember it. Sorry, hope the rest of your day is better.

Well, they say it happens in 3's so your probably good. I'd take a rest, You have been very productive.
Hugs

WOW, sounds like you're having a terrible day. Maybe its time to just sit back and enjoy a good hot cup of tea and just try relaxing for a while. Hope your day gets better. Hugs Karen

Oh Sue

Poor you.. Maybe a glass of wine early night
and fresh start tomorrow lol..
big hugs - Maria xx

Thanks I will have the wine. Hugs Marie

Ouch. I have had that happen before,too. It is real bummer and the rest of the day gets shot. Thank goodness, our bodies heal themselves.

Oh NO!! I hate when that happens! I hope the finger didn't leak on a dolly! Ouchie! Better stop before the third bad thing happens. Ben says, "It's okay, Sue," There, there."

Oh, I think that we have all been there. I have had the needle experiences, and one quite bad...the memory stick, or jump drive - my DH has always told me to no store anything on one of them. Only use it for my machines - they can only be changed so many time...and they even do break. He had one come apart in his hand the other day, and he asked where the super glue was - he wanted to retrieve the pictures he had moved to it. The glue worked, and so is the jump drive...But, good luck with everything else. You hand enough going on.

This is so true, if things start bad you better stop.

Been there - done that. My sympathies for your finger, not the needle. Betty

Oh Dear poor Sue, hope your finger is not hurt to bad, and try the stick again tomorrow you may be lucky, it happend to me twice and was lucky both times.

A few good lessons learnt here. Definitely time to stop. Hope finger gets better soon. Sarah.

I empathize with one of those days. I hope your injury is not too severe. Live Laugh Download Stitch!

i think i'have had that same lesson. hope the throbbing stops soon & you didn't "leak" on your project!

Sounds like you had a narrow ecape Sue. Hope its not too bad(the finger not the needle).
Hugs Pam.

The needle is a right off! Finger is just throbbing gently.
