Good for you! I must say that I just changed the dressing on my finger and it's still oozing pink. I have now been using these Hatch gloves for a week. I am making myself lay them on top of my rotary cutter when I finish cutting so I HAVE to pick them up to get the cutter. Might as well put them on once they are in my hand! They are comfortable and really, really grip great. This is not going to happen to me again. I salute all of you who protect your fingers but I can't imagine any other device that gives me the comfort and secure feeling of these Kevlar gloves. I am going to order a backup pair from Amazon (Hatch Street Guard Glove with Kevlar) soon as I post this. They cost around $30 but protecting my fingers is priceless. I still hurt and it is even difficult to steer while driving. (Sure, I am still cutting and piecing!)
In addition to gifting me the gloves, my son and DIL cleaned up the blood and my "meat" so I didn't have to. It was a mess. Please protect your fingers!
