pull this needle out of my finger?"

Yes, I joined the club.

Lesson: do not try to smooth out the water soluble topping while the machine is stitching. Happily, it was a 75/11 and not some monster needle.

Ouch, I feel your pain. I stitched the end of my thumb yesterday. I had my fingers too close while trying to make sure the binding was where I wanted! Hope your finger is okay.

Oooh, sorry! Hope he was gentle!

OOHHH!! That hurts!! We have a whooping cough epidemic here and hubby needed to get a shot. When he asked why my shots were up to date I told him it was because of all the sharp things in my sewing room that were always inserting themselves into my skin (I also keep pliers and a first aide kit since I could bleed to death before he hears me call him).

Hope you heal fast.

Mercy, watch out for those pesky needles......and rotary cutters, and ..........
I don't seem to be able to make a quilt without getting blood on it one time or another

Rotary cutters are something else we use carefully.

Thanks everybody. I'm not even sure it hurt, it happened so fast. I had to do the extraction myself.

Fortunately, no blood on the white fabric!

Raggie, ouch!! I hope your thumb heals quickly.

Hope you don't do it again...Ouch! I hate to admit this, but...I have done this too many times...I keep pliers in my cup with the other scissors. I also keep several band-aids with the first covering already off with a rubberband to the cup..
