Ouch! My first craft-related injury

I was free motion quilting today and got distracted and the sewing machine needle hit my finger and went through my nail. Ouch!!!!!

I already have a doctors appointment tomorrow (because I also got rear-ended--it's been a GREAT day). I need to get my tDap shot anyway, so I'll be covered for tetanus. It is achy if I put pressure on it. :-( So I took a break from sewing the rest of the afternoon.

  • Ouch is right!  Hope tomorrow is better for you!
  • Ugh, so sorry that happened to you!  I scraped 1/4 of the skin off of the lower portion of my finger with my free motion quilt, I still have a scar.

  • I hope tomorrow is much better for you.

    I recently put the needle through my nail while I was working on Halloween costumes.  It was so surreal, but boy did it hurt.

    I was amazed at how quickly it healed, although it was a bit sensitive to pressure for a few days.  I don't even remember which finger/thumb it was, and it wasn't that long ago....I hope yours heals as quickly.

     

     

  • Ouch!  I've actually wondered if that is possible, but wasn't going to volunteer my finger! 

    I hope it all turns out ok!

     Sorry to hear that you read-ended.

  • Ouch!  My first major craft injury was when a new rotary cutter went right through my finger.  It was deep and too forever to heal.

  • That sucks! I hope your finger heals up quickly. That throbbing pain is no fun.

  • I went to the doctor today and she looked at my fingernail and said "oh my goodness." LOL. You know it's bad when a doctor is grossed out!

  • Oh, OUCH! I hope it's all fixed up soon. I just know that sewing (or ugh- serging!) through my finger is something that I'll do one day. I've come pretty close before, particularly when I'm super tired and really should not be operating any machinery.
