I guess I knew I would do this sooner or later...

Luckily the cuts weren't too bad (the blade wasn't brand new-whew!), but one of them sure bled a lot. I really had to hold pressure on it to get it to stop. :shock:
Then I put some stuff called "New Skin" on it. The "New Skin" forms a "liquid bandage" that helps close up the cut and protects it from bumps and dirt. If you don't already have some, I HIGHLY recommend it. It sometimes stings like crazy while it's drying, but after that, you're good to go. :thumbup:

I had to make a trip to the emergency room last year. Got a little more than a nck and was almost $400 less in my pocket (or maybe it was $300) either way it was a lot of money I could have spent on fabric or eating out! :)
