Ouch!
Was rotary cutting some fabric this afternoon, and managed to cut my finger. I'll spare you all the details, but it involved a trip to the ER. I'd like to point out that in 15 years of quilting, this is my first injury, but since it was my pointer finger that was injured, I won't be doing any pointing right now.
I hope you are ok ,I've never had it happen ,not to say it couldn't .Take care .
ReplyDeleteWe've probably all had moments where something "almost" happened while using rotary blades. Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you have a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteThose rotary cutters are a deadly weapon! I have had minor run-ins with them (cutting off my fingernails) but live in fear of meeting them square-on like you did!! Maybe you can use this experience to come up with some safety accessories to use while rotary cutting and make a mint!!!
ReplyDeleteHeal quickly!
I have always said Quilting is a full contact Sport! Hubby came in the studio one day when I was sewing with a friend, he picked up my rotery cutter and rolled it over his hand asking is this sharp? answer: YES-evidences by the cut and blood. band-aid boy leaves my equiptment alone now. cw
ReplyDeleteI am so afraid of those blades. When I change my blade I am so careful. This morning I ended up with two blades in the cutter, doesn't work well at all.Hope your finger heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your finger, Auntie Em! I hope it heals quickly and you can get your point working again.
ReplyDeleteUghhh...not fun. Hope it heals quickly. My DH was trying to jinx me this weekend as I was sewing on my machine, asking if I was going to sew my finger. I told him, nope, haven't done that since I was a teenager. Take care.
ReplyDeleteEEK! i did the same thing to same finger last fall and still creeps me out at times as I cut....Hope you are ok!
