I too, am a member of the rotary-blade-cuts. I was just cutting the the strip that I needed and was thinking I would be done soon, when I took my eyes off the cutting for just a sec. but sec cost me cutting the tip off of my middle finger on the left hand. When to emergence and had the tip stitched back on, they said it would protect the nerve endings, but would die off by the time to take stitches out... Sew don't take your eyes off your project while cutting...I am getting feeling back into the finger tip. So back to hand quilting.
