I guess a Fons and Porter glove is a good habit to get into.

I have to tell you that this is my greatest fear - the blades are sharp and you have to press hard to cut thru two layers of fabric. I purchased the AccuQuilt Go just to avoid using
the blade for some items - Hope your hand heals fast!!!!

OUCH is right! :shock: I'm cringing reading about it!

I'm hoping today will be a much better day for you. And now you know it isn't a good idea to be cutting fabric when you're tired.

I did the same thing to, cut my little finger right next to the nail. Bled like crazy. Make butterfly bandage and put pressure on it as I was so not going to urgent care. It healed fine but those cuts just seem to be attracted to bump into everything you want to touch. Treat it with "tincture of time, antibiotic ointment and a tight band aide."
