At the age of 5 I was using Mom's treadle machine. The needle went thru my finger! Mom took the needle out of the machine, took me into the bathroom and poured peroxide over it then pulled out the needle- gave the finger a kiss=- put the needle back in the machine and told me to continue my dolls dress.
If she had scolded me I might not have ever sewed again!

If it's been more than 5 years since your last tetnus shot, you really need to get one. Make sure you wash the area with antibacterial soap. Rinse well, Soak in peroxide to bubble out any debri. Coat wih a gook antibacterialy ointment. Clean every day. Watch for signs of redness, swelling, warmth, and pain. If red streaks appear go to your doctor or ER immediately. The streaks are a sing of a bad infection.
