This club is large and sympathy comes from all. Some people worry about Acupuncture but after sewing your finger and recovering mentally and physically, acupuncture is very gentle. I testify from experience!!

I'm very new in quilting but I have already made this club ...thanks to my Babylock 10 thread.....first time (08-18-11) was the early evening of my birthday!!! Was only going to move the corner of material....and wham went through my ring finger and the eye broke off....no matter how hard I tried with assistance we couldn't find that almost 1/2" needle...so off to the ER...doctor worked hard on it; would take a break and come back....was there from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m...........2nd time was the following Wednesday....this time almost finished with stitching and went to move a piece of thread....same thing only left hand and index finger....embarrased but no option but to return to ER....unfortunately, after 2 doctors the orthopedic surgeon had to remove this one...BE CAREFUL ladies.....quit when you're tired....It's expensive and NOT FUN!!!!!!!!! to be a part of this club!! Take it from a beginner who learned the hard way to keep those fingers back or turn the machine OFF!!! :oops: :roll: :oops:

Ouch. I joined the needle club back in '69 when my mom let me use her 1940's Singer for a school project. I sewed my whole finger to the project and didn't realize it until I pulled the project out from under the needle and couldn't get it off my hand. I had sewn down the side of my finger just inside the skin (no blood thankfully). Then in 2000, my DD introduced me to the rotary cutter; joined that accident club within 10 minutes of holding the thing. I shaved the side of my hand from thumb to fingernail in 3 seconds. DD said not to do that again. Took me 3 months before I picked the rotary cutter up again to use. Now it is my faithful companion. I just have to live and learn mostly the hard way.
Hope you feel better.
