Last week I was machine quilting some fabric for a class I was going to be taking at Bernina. Silly me, I stuck my finger in the way of the fast-moving needle, and BAM! The needle went right through my fingernail and darn near out the other side! As I jerked my hand away as soon as I realized what was happening, I broke the needle in half so that half was in the sewing machine and the other half was in my finger!!!
Not a pretty sight.
I wish I would have stayed calm long enough to take a picture, that would have been pretty gross to see, right? But I just wanted to yank that thing out of my finger, so that's what I did. Then a little bead of blood formed on both sides of my finger. Then I decided to get my camera, because my finger actually didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would.
I was having focus issues with my camera, but if you look close you can see a little bead of blood on both sides of my finger (the one side is actually on the fingernail).
That was a lovely experience. And speaking of lovely, this is what I made the next day at my sewing class:
At least this story had a happy ending, right?
