It is a clear acrylic guard, that attaches to your ruler. They come in different sizes. I have seen them at different quilt shops. I think I also saw them a Beverly's which is a craft and fabric shop.

I've had several rotary cutter injuries. None as bad as yours sounds. But they hurt! :cry:
I've also tried to sew my finger. Fortunately it didn't break off in my finger - that could've been bad...
Quilting/Sewing is not a safe "sport"...

I know everyone has a fit about it but I still use my wall paper knife for most of my cutting It uses razor blades...I have never cut myself with it...but then my blades are about $10.00 per 100 so I change them often...I have several rotary cutters but darn they get dull fast. I also have nicked my fingers a lot...I'm just use to my little red :D Hope your finger heals fast

I did that once, it fell and hit my leg, still have the scar. Nice to know that I am not alone.

A sharp blade usually cuts properly the first time.
carrieg - says to wear shoes while cutting - another good idea.
Hope you recover quickly from your cut. At least it was a "clean" cut.
You probably bled profusely.
I cut off the very end of my left middle finger. Still feels weird.

Nina, sorry to hear about your injury! I hope all is well in a few days. I just purchased a new rotary cutter yesterday. Can you believe I broke one? The plastic slide thingy that retracts the blade broke, so the blade was unable to retract. I was so nervous using it that I went out the next day and bought a new one. I like the new one. It's an Olfa with ergonomic handle and the blade retracts automatically!
