Thats nasty. Hope it heals quickly! Be sure to use an antiseptic/antibiotic on it to prevent infection.

I did it years ago with my mum's machine. I jerked back and broke the needle off in my thumb straight through my nail. I screamed and scared my Nanna silly. My dad had to use a pair of plyers to pull it out. Hurt soo much. xx

Yes many, many years ago. I was told to have a booster anti tetanus jab which I did. For reasons I dont remember the injection was in my leg. I reacted to the jab and could hardly move... Carolyn very sorry to hear you have sewn your finger up its not nice. Take care and dont do it again

Yes, I also done that before with my embroidery machine, but the worst was when I was making halters for the horses on a heavy duty industrial machine, and we had to take the needle out of machine before we could get it out of my finger. No fun at all, take care and hope it heal ok.

Feel better, soon.
I did that a few weeks ago... missed my fingernail.
I was more upset about breaking the needle I had just put in... sewing my finger made me feel pretty silly.

When we were kids, we had a treadle sewing machine. My brother was busy sewing something and had it really going. He got it going so fast that when it ran over his hand, it kept on going. After finally getting it to stop, he had to sit with a seam ripper and take the threads out too. It hurts!!
Did you throw the timing off with your accident? Today's machines are so finicky about that. I hope you feel better soon!!

This beats anything i have read yet .Does your brother still talk about it ??Has he scares hugs catrolyn
He has wounded himself so many times since then that the sewing incident is small beans. He wasn't permanently scarred. He has a heavy equipment machine shop, and injuries are just part of the job. I wasn't trying to one-up. It just brought back a memory. :)
memory. :)

Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!
Oh My Goodness!!! I don't know what to say.
Just hoping that the pain ceases very soon and that you can finish your mammoth task very soon.
If this isn't a timely reminder to go steady - fast and furious, but steady - with our Christmas sewing, what is???
Best of luck in the next day or two that your finger comes good for you.

No, not I, but in sewing class a many year ago, class mate did, she was very quiet and when I saw her crying I was so amazed the needle had gone through the nail. No one heard a peep. Needless to say the teacher took her to the hospital for a tetanus shot.

I did and i got one in 2006 and i am good for a few years yet !!!those shoots are really only for dirty items they said ????
NOPE! Puncture wounds make you need a tetanus shot. Better safe than sorry. I had a friend who bumped his knee on a brand new nail...and got tetanus. Almost didn't make it. You might call the doc to see what they say....

But an incident that hurt worse was when I got grounded between a power outlet and manhole cover trying to unplug an old wringer washer. Life is just full of fun little lessons.

When I was very young I had the needle of my mum's treadle machine go through my finger, it just hit the side of the nail which as a result is a bit misshapen at the edge, a constant reminder to keep well away.
It must be very painful!

Oh, Carolyn, sorry to hear about your mishap. I had the same thing happen way back in Home Ec class. Needle went right through my thumb. We had a substitute teacher at the time. So, still attached to the machine via the needle, I raise my other hand to ask to go to the nurse. The teacher won't let me until I unscrewed the needle, marched up to her desk and showed her my thumb. It's amazing I continued to sew after that! 8-) I hope you feel better real soon, dear lady!

I did that as a teen when learning to sew.My mother was in other room and I told her what i did and she didn't respond correctly. So I started crying and getting all upset. I have a very weak stomach and the thought of trying to get needle out of finger. I feel your pain.

Yes, but not as badly as you as I only caught the beside the nail. OWWWW!!!!! And I cut into my right index finger using a paper cutter when I pulled the blade down and and apparently forgot my finger was there! Still have the scar from that. I sympathize totally! Hang in there, it'll get better.

Yup! Me too! I did that when I first started sewing and my mom had told me that I could use her sewing machine, but to be careful because I could end up putting the needle through my finger and if I did that I wouldn't be allowed to sew any more. Well, I was sewing and got my finger in the way, it went into my finger (don't rem. how far) and came out and I continued sewing quietly in silent tears hoping mom wouldn't hear me. Years later she was telling somebody about it and told them she figured if I kept quiet when I did that I must have really wanted to sew. So she decided to wait and see if I told her (I didn't) and would let me keep on. I never did it again. I can still rem. it and ouch every time.
Hope you're doing better!
