It was #3 in a chain of bad luck. Broke my toe on Friday. Sunday my dog suffered what I believe was a stroke, but came through it with flying colors and the cord incident was the last straw. I have been taking my machine down to the dining room to sew, to keep the dog company. I had brought it back to the sewing room, plugged it in momentary to sew 3 pieces of binding together and didn't pay attention to one section of it apparently looped over the cutting table, but hidden under a fat quarter I had laid aside.
Believe it or not, I'm always so careful with the rotary cutter and have never had a major incident/cut. Guardian angels are taking care of me for certain. Hubby didn't give me a bad time at all. Just shook his head and said to be more careful.
