We're practically quilting twins! Me too, for the first time yesterday when I rolled the cutter right into the side of my thumb! Still able to sew tho! Always wondered why so many warnings when with a little care and consideration.....NOW I know.

Have not cut myself with the rotery cutter yet, but I have sewed my finger nail and just the tip of my finger also.

It only took me getting cut once before learning that I had to close my cutter every single time.

Congratulations on becoming a "real" quilter! :lol: Now take good care of your cut. :)

I am jealous....haven't got the rotary kiss yet!
Nor have I completed a quilt worthy of showing....
How long before I am a real quilter....guess I need to buy more fabric and a new rotary cutter!!!!!

Today . . . I cut my finger with my rotery cutter :( Now I really am a quilter.

Sorry for the short post - it is hard to type with no index finger.

Just a nick - but darn it!!! :)

Ouch! Welcome to the true quilter's club! I know how that hurts. I've done it, sliced away and wondered why my finger hurt. DUH!!! But super glue worked great and I was back to cutting and quilting in no time. :thumbup:

Haven't cut my fingers or any other part of me but my little grandson picked up the cutter, i gently took it away, and a few seconds later looked at him and he had blood all over his face, hair, etc. One deep cut on a finger. Was able to get some steri-strips on it and a pressure bandage. That was his first band aid and he showed it off with pride. the cut healed and I learned a big lesson. My cutters are all closed and when the little ones come over they are up high and out of sight.
