Unfortunately, you may not be able to get stitches now as they usually like to stitch wounds within a few hours. You do need a tetanus shot (if you have not had one in 10 years). If it is still bleeding, you need to go to the doctor to have him/her look at it. With some wounds the docs will "super glue" them together, works better than stitches sometimes. (They are even using glue in surgery). The numbing shot does hurt, but it is over quickly and will help the cut "feel okay" for a few hours after the stitches. Please call your doctor on Monday if you have any concerns. Heal well and hope you get back to quilting! {{Hugs}} from a former EMT and fellow quilter!
