We had a saying in the rag trade...you were never a real sewer unless you had sewn your finger.
Sequins were a health hazard to the eyes ๐ Many times one of us would have a sequin fly up after sewing over one.

Lol! Yes I have done that plenty of times. I did it last week when sewing a school uniform hem.
I suppose that's why they invented those annoying little things called thimbles...

No, those were invented so you didn't hurt your finger when hand sewing..
OH thinks they're just replacements for Monopoly pieces

It was the wrong finger for a thimble.
I'm not sure how but I managed to sew the left ring finger to an apron that was for a wedding today.
To make it worse when I took my foot off the pedal the machine has an auto needle down function so it went in again..... I had to press a buttong to make it come out so it had 2 stitches through it in the end.... I just cut all the threads.... the needle didn't break..... I finished off the aprons with same needle :^O
