Ps 150..I think we should all print this thread , and hang above our machines to peruse once in awhile, just to keep us reminded of all the pitfalls of this great sewing hobby/career...we can get careless..although that does not seem the case with your injuiry...When a member of QB took pictures of a sliced finger with rotary blade, I immediatly ordered the Gypsy for my ruler.. I shudder at the thought of a needle thru my finger, although I have read the same accident has been happening for years.. I wish all the best for your healing..I'm sure you will come out better for it.. when it becomes a memory...
