Operating machinery
Not yet Brian.
No one has asked how the sewing machine is yet ??? Dee in Oz "Brian" wrote in message ...

Well. I don't have either of those excuses but I managed to machine stitch through my finger today. Nothing sews like a Bernina. This includes fingers. I was doing some thread painting and FM, had to reach to hold down an appliquéd edge and POW ! I am expected to live but have learned my lesson, at least for a while. Y'all be careful, you hear? Polly I think that everyone that owns/operates a sewing machine has done that, even if they don't admit it. Brian Christiansen |

Polly Ouch!! Hope you're feeling better by now. I can empathize because I did that many years ago when I was first learning to sew....one of those lessons you hope that you only have to learn once! Take care, Allison |

Ouch!! So glad you recovered from your incident and the machine
survived as well. My one on one with my sewing machine didn't draw blood, but somehow I managed to get my rather long fingernail "caught" in the mechanism above the needle and it twisted my finger up and ripped the nail. I had gel tips on so they were tough enough it didn't rip the nail back into the nailbed, thankfully. I was rushing to finish a Christmas gift and trying to "poke" some fuzz away from the needle - silly me! Moni |

Yee-Gads!!! Glad to hear your finger is ok and not throbbing! Please be careful, we wouldn't want the gators smelling blood!
I remember home-ec. The teacher was a spinster and just as gentle and gentile as could be. She not only taught us sewing and cooking, but how to balance a checkbood and find bargains in the grocery store. She had a great sense of humor and was as sharp as a tack. Too bad the schools have done away with this course. So many of our young people need it. just my 2cents.... |
