OK.. time for me to fess up, since everyone else has been forthcoming.. I too have done many of these errors, although I've never (knock on wood) cut myself with a rotary cutter or stitched a finger with my machine. I have cut the webspace between my thumb and index finger with my Ginghers... those suckers are SHARP! Probably the saddest, most alarming and funniest involves a pet I used to have. At the time I was sewing clothing, not quilts, and I had a darling little cockateil named PJ who was free in the condo. I have had him follow me when I was pinning a pattern down and when I finished, I looked back and he was very methodically removing each pin right behind me!!! then when I was sewing he would sit on my shoulder and jabber, he was just learning to talk. All at once he ran down my arm and was immediately cold cocked when the take up lever whacked him on the head. I called the Vet in a panic, and was told to take him in a dark room and put an ice cube on his head. We sat in the dark for about 10 minutes, he was fine...I was a mess, but he never talked much after that.
