Ouch! Seamstress Down!!! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

My lil friend · 03-05-2012, 06:11 AM

I got tired of my iron falling of of the ironing board so I put the hard plastic mouse pad to the kids super nintendo on my ironing board and sit the iron on that,the kids never used the mouse pad anyway. My iron stays very nicely on the board now and never falls off. I guess a small piece of plywood would work.
I hope that you are feeling better today. Be sure to get to a Dr if any signs of infection set in.

Ouch!! Burns reallllly hurt... I cannot imagine the entire palm of your hand being burnt

Hope it heals quickly!

Thanks you guys! I have it bandaged today and it's much better. I have been using it pretty well, but it is weird to try and work all bandaged up. LOL

Here's a sewing tip (from Martha): Get a wooden cuticle pusher stick at the drugstore, and use that to help guide the material under the needle. They are helpful when you accidentally run over a pin halfway and it gets stuck under the pressure foot...

So glad you're feeling better today!

Perrella · 03-05-2012, 10:38 AM

Ouchie...makes me hurt to think about it too. Burns are so very painful

Glad it's feeling better and not hindering your sewing

Just take care of your hand!

I love the title of this thread, it just made me laugh when I first saw it! I didn't laugh when I read what happened but the title just cracked me up...I remember when you first started all the sewing...just looked at one of your new threads and oh my "You've come a long way baby"!!!

I had a log that was glowing red, roll out of my fireplace and go airborn, heading for the carpeted den floor (this has been years ago)....I could only thing of one thing to do to keep it from setting the carpet on fire......I doubled up my fist and "volly ball lik batted that glowing red log back up into the fireplace!Of course, some of the glowing red embers were STUCK to my hand....and it took a while for the magnitude of the pain I was in, to reach my brain....at which point in time, I instinctively wiped the red hot ember off using my right leg.....smart cookie!! You will not believe this, but I slathered Vicks VapoRub all over my burned fist and my right thigh area that I burned.....the unbelieveable pain/burning/throbbing stopped immediately, and by the next morning neither site was evn red! I am looking at my hand now, and I am stunned and amazed that you can not even tell it was ever burned! I keep jarsd and jars of Vicks at the house now....that stuff is good for ANYTHING!!!!

Yorkiemom1...first I have to apologize because I am laughing like crazy...I can picture that log being volleyed back into the fireplace and the look of determination on your face that the carpet was not going to get burnt...for some reason...I can't quit laughing!

Verbena · 01-24-2013, 02:51 PM

I am glad you are feeling better. If you have pure lavender essential oil, you can put that on by itself when you burn yourself. I use it on burns from the oven or iron. It helps a lot and smells good while healing

I was renting that house from my aunt and uncle....it was a beautiful home and I didnt have the money to have the carpet replaced....they were so kind and gracious enough to let me rent for meer pennies on the dollar, until I could get back on my feet following my divorce.....I would have EATEN that hot log before I wouyld have ever let it hit that carpet!!!!!
