OMG, I hope they were able to save your finger. What a terrible thing to happen. I send prayers for a quick and whole recovery. I'm sorry, but that's not a club I'd like to join, however, I once stuck my finger in the blades of my blender wand - stupid I know - but fortunately it was just a deep slice, not an amputation. It was my luck that I got an ER Dr. with a warped sense of humor who regaled me with tales of his ER visits, so he took my mind off of my injury. Please heal quickly and well.

You are not alone . I too cut the tip of my middle finger off, 1/2 inch...At the ER they said to protect the nerve inendings they wanted to sew it on... 4 stitches later I was home and looking over my quilt pieces to make sure no blood. My middle finger slipped off the ruler as I was useing rotary cutter. Nice clean Cut...

I too will promise to find the glove that I have purchased and start using it! Let's make a pack and join the "I use my glove and will not be part of the I cut my finger club"!
Hope it feels better soon!

You are so right. It's not a matter of if but when no matter how clever you think you are. I like the Quilters Slide Lock and use it on every ruler. For really small rulers I use the small round Gypsy Gripper. I have the safety glove I take to classes and workshops. I bought the cut resistant glove at Amazon in the kitchen dept. in the size that would fit my boney hand.
. So sorry and I sure hope I don't join your club!
