No, but my around-the neck magnifier has plenty of scratches from
hitting it with an updrawn needle... I have also been known to lean over
the sewing machine so closely that the take-up lever thwacks me in the
forehead. You are not alone.

I think I've told you all about the time I got a crochet hook in my foot.
Like a full 2 inches into my foot......

I'll add the time I got a frantic phone call from my friend across the
street. Fortunately I had her key and could get into her house because she
had been sewing on her sewing machine and while she was guiding the fabric
she managed to put the needle through the fleshy part of her right thumb.
There she was stuck with the needle down through her finger and unable to
get her left hand twisted enough to get to the wheel on the right side of
the machine to turn it and get it out.
Luckily it wasn't a really big disaster, but can you imagine if she had to
wait all day for one of her kids to come home from school to get her free.

Luckily she had a phone within reach!
I once had to take an African lady to hospital for attention because she had
pierced her finger with a sewing machine needle, and it had broken off in
her finger, with nothing external to grip. She was one of a group I was
teaching to use sewing machines and patterns.
And recently I stabbed my lip with a fork! It was a very large fork, in
Woolworths coffee shop, and I just misjudged. That's my excuse, anyway.

Who else has done this??? DS had a class mate for "home ec" in middle school
who managed his thumb and his finger, through the nail, on succeeding days,
I've done in once, I know my sister has never approached a sewing machine
again after doing the second time.....
