My daughter ended up in the ER with the same problem. Two weeks ago I went and buy the Klutz glove at Joannes and I have been using it. You may want to think of getting one for yourself. Hope your finger heals soon.

How awful for you! Get well and feel better soon!

Craftybear, how did you get that cute little get well card on your post?

What is a cutting glove and where are they sold? Thanks.

Sorry for you. I'm praying for your healing and the rest of us to enjoy our craft with out mishaps.

When I watch Fons and Porter quilt show I think having to put that glove on every time they cut is such a hassle, but maybe in the long run it's worth it. I just barely nicked my finger the other day (no blood) and thought, you know I could really take a chunk out of there if I'm not careful. Maybe I need to pick up a glove too. Hope you heal quickly!

So sorry for your accident. Those cutters can be fierce! Hoping for quick recovery.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that is one major ouchie! I did a little slice, but I will forever be vigilant now... a gentle hug for healing.

Please get one of the big handles - cheap at Harbor Freight-for putting on top of your ruler. I am always afraid of that so I got one. You have already learned not to cut when tired. Hope it heals quickly.

I did nearly the same thing a few months ago. I managed to stop short of cutting it off (just a little piece of skin holding it on). Trip to the ER as well, they couldn't get it to stop bleeding either so put a turnicate on it to work on it. They ended up gluing it. I didn't know glue was so expensive! That little trip cost $812.00! Healed well, but still feels a little funny. I'm more careful now!
