I know your pain I sliced a chunk off my index finger last year and still have no feeling. I had to go to the wound center for 9 weeks while they trimmed the skin and packed my wound. The next thing I purchased at Joann's was a cutting glove and don,t cut without it.

When I was learning to use a rotary cutter. I would jerk or something and cut away from the ruler. I messed some fabrics but not my fingers. I don't get in a hurry when I cut. I try to make sure my fingrs are away from the edge of the ruler. I hope I don't get lax.

Ouchies! I can feel your pain, been there myself. Fortunately I didn't have to go to the clinic and it healed up pretty well.

Oh no. I hope you heal quickly.

I don't understand anyone depending on luck to not have a bad accident with the rotary cutter. Why not make sure you won't?

oh my goodness . .. the irony!!

I am a careful cutter, without a glove (soon as i can afford one!) -- the worst I have done with my rotary is a nick (like a papercut) to my knuckle. The cutter jumped my ruler and flew! but, my other hand was well out of the way, and my reflexes like a cat!! (haha)

However, I did cut my hand terribly last year. Washing dishes!! UGH -- flawed glass, hurried 'washer' . . . hacked off my first knuckle. Would you believe it is growing back?! I was lucky not to have permanently damaged a tendon or nerve, but I'm even more careful cutting now . . . it is harder!

bummer to be hurt doing chores!!

;0)

Ouch! Please be careful and make sure it does not get infected!
Hope it feel better soon and heals quickly

Did that a couple of weeks ago, but not as bad as you did! But a nice piece off the old finger! It's the second time I did it and it was because I wasn't looking at what I was doing. Hope yours heals well.

I was cutting normally and suddenly felt something. I had placed my finger too close to the edge and luckily sliced off my false nail. No blood. So keep fingers out of the way.
Hope it heals quickly.

yikes, don't even want to picture what your finger looked like... hope it heals quickly.
