I have a fear of vaccination neadles and this is much more painful LOL, it happens so quickly take care hope it heals OK

:XD: Sew sorry. Hope it feels better soon. There was another post a while back about the same thing. There were a lot of people that have done the same thing to themselves or have had it done to them by others. (Kids around machines). Myself included. No idiots here. Take care and heal soon.

My friend did this on her new machine which she now calls Nipper. She took the needle out of the machine with her finger pierced clear through and had her husband pull it out with a pliers.

I've only manage to get the needle through the nail not the whole finger.
