#please hallow i do not want u to sew ur fingies

[thekuraning]

reading ur tags on the sewing machine post and feeling my soul leave my body. my needles break if i look at them wrong what do you MEAN they can go through FINGERS 😨

If I had a nickle for every time my mom sewed straight through her finger while she was teaching sewing lessons in our store (that i am aware of) i would have 2 nickles. Which isn't a lot but its terrifying that its happened twice. We've also had customers do it during class, and my mom's driven them to the ER every time. It did go a little(?) into her bone once and they had to put her ubder to remove the broken pieces surgically.

Unless you have a treadle or a hand crank machine, ur sewing machine has a BIG OL HONKIN MOTOR in it!! And if ur machine is computerized—which is ANY MACHINE that you PRESS BUTTON to select stitches, not just embroidery machines or machines with big screens—it has an EVEN MORE POWERFUL MOTOR!!!

Think of ur machine like a power tool or a car. It is heavy machinery!! So be very careful for me and keep ur fingers away from the needle. Do not tempt fate!! 😔
