When I was born I had a tag on each big toe, one of them said do not dress in white and the other said keep away from sharp objects. I cut off a portion of my left index finger with a very sharp rotary cutter. :oops: Luckily I had a very thick callous so it was not so bad. One of the quilting shows I watch has suggested using gardening gloves that have the textured surface on the bottom of the fingers. I have tried that and wearing finger stalls used in office work for picking up paper and find them very clumsy. Of course, I probably would. :roll: Cutting my finger however has taught me to slow down and not talk to my sewing partner while making a cut.
