Please for all of us quilters, get the Klutz glove from Fons and Porter. It's not cut proof but cut resistant.
There is also a cutting guard available from O-Lipfa, which attaches to your ruler. I haven't tried this one yet.
Let there be any protector for your fingers underneath your Christmas tree this year. (Should you celebrate Christmas). If you don't let it be a wonderful present without any special occassion, or make one up!
