A year or so ago, I joined those of you who have sliced their fingers using a rotary cutter. I had just purchased a brand new rotary cutter, and the blade was exceptionally sharp. I had a pretty bad cut, but I made some butterfly closures from adhesive tape (until I could get to the drug store) and bandaged my finger. It took several weeks for it to heal, and I definitely try to be much more careful. No more trying to watch TV and cut quilt blocks at the same time! I still have numbness in my index finger on my left hand. Safety First!
