Also, something to remember about clutch motors, even thou you shut them off, there still "Live' until the motor winds down.

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Roller, Yep, you got that right! The maching I had for over 35 years had the clutch motor. Now My maching has the servo motor. Much safer. Thanks for watching!

Great advices and sense of humour! 😂😂😂😂😂 Here in Europe, industrial sewing machines come with a guard, that almost everybody removes, so we have to be careful! 😅😅

Hello Delta, Thank you so much! My machine came new with a guard, It was gone in the first five minutes! Thanks for watching!

Happened to me. About 30 years ago. 1993-94. Using my trusty Adler industrial upholstery machine. Needle went through my right middle finger at the cuticle. (Karma for road rage flip-offs?) My automatic response was to pull away, like when you touch a hot stove. The machine continued cycling stitches. Of course. by pulling away I flexed the needle which hit the plate and shattered into fragments. Went to the E.R. They called in a hand surgeon. (Lots of pain medicine.) He worked on me for at least thirty minutes. Had to tourniquet me middle finger for that period of time, X-rays to find the fragmented needle pieces. Out of commission for over a month. I feel it to this day. So take this man's advice and never lose concentration when stitching. Stapled fingers many times.

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

Hello Garp, I felt the phantom pain reading your story. Cringe! Thanks for watching!

[@richardbyrne4659]

Wish I could say I've never sewn my finger but alas, I have. The real problem with doing this is the reaction to jerk your hand away and that is bad! I have shot myself with a staple gun multiple times and both the needle and the staple hurt more coming out than going in. Upholstery shear cuts are pretty easy to come by also. Have a good day!

[@oldschoolautoupholstery]

[@dustynbustos5983]

Good video! One thing I’ve had to watch out for, is my heavy leather machines. They have a second foot pedal to raise the foot, instead of a knee lifter. I have to make sure I don’t accidentally hit the go pedal instead of the lift pedal. So my personal rule is, never get in a hurry. Thank you for making these videos. I really enjoy them!

Sewing through one's hand was an opening sequence in an episode of 'Better Call Saul". Makes me cringe thinking about it.

@@oldschoolautoupholstery Shes 84 years old, and I suspect she doesn't let a day go by without sewing, or at least thinking about it. Quilts are her main love, but she's done her share of upholstery in the past, and her DIY spirit is the reason I took up sewing.

Distractions will get you every time, especially if your rushing to get it done. I had a chunk of thumb stitched back on, E.R. Doctor started sewing before the pain killer kicked in! Guess that's why they take that hypocritical oath 😢

Not quite the same topic but when I was younger I hit my thumb very badly with a hammer and the pressure that built up in my arm had to be relieved . The solution was to pierce my thumb with a red hot needle ( done by a Nurse ) the relief was amazing , and it wasn’t painful ! but the blood shot up about five feet into the air and all over the Nurse’s white starched apron ! .

Hello David, I bet everyone was surprised by that! Please keep watching!

Our sticher of 40 yrs got a needle into her finger bone once. Took the needle out and brought her to the hospitable with it in her just in case a fish hook effect was there. I got once thru the finer but just off to the side of the bone and nail. First time in 50 yrs and hopefully the last.

I have got the end of my fingernail 1x in my 7 years of doing this. My dad has been doing this for 40 years and I seen him sew his finger 2x. If it pokes lell then 3 stitches it just pokes holes. If it runs more then 3-4 it cuts

Twice! Twice I have been bitten! The latest was a one shot through my finger. Previously I took a double stitch through my hand between my thumb and index finger. Both times it was because I inadvertently hooked the toe of my shoe under the front of the foot pedal. Pulling out that tex 70 is not an enjoyable experience!
