Not fun. My husband keeps saying that I need the Klutz Glove. I know I wouldn't wear it though.

Um......only once, and really bad....never again!!! Sure made me start paying attention to what I was doing. Don't feel dumb, we've all done it -- sooner or later. Take care and hope you heal fast.

Some time ago I didn't close mine and dropped it off the table onto the top of my bare foot. Yup what a mess.
Lesson learned! |
A friend cut her finger with a rotary cutter at my house. It was a bit scary to see all that blood and mess. It convinced me I needed to buy a Klutz glove and fast!
I hope your finger heals quickly. |

Yep, then I learned to be VERY careful of where I put my thumb, thank goodness for nails. It didn't go very deep. I tried the holder, found I hated it, I tried the glove, refuse to wear it and my ruler slips out from under my hand when I used it. Mostly I just try to be careful now......... oh and I stopped using a rotary cutter when sitting in the front of an ambulance waiting for a call- also very important to remember.

I did that last fall - required 7 stitches in the tip of my left index finger. Now I use the suction handle with my main ruler when cutting strips

The problem with most rotary cutter brands is that they're really aren't safe to use. The blade guards don't automatically activate when you relax pressure on the cutter or mat. I've been in the business for a number of years selling scissors and rotary cutters, and there's only one brand that I really consider safe to use because it does just that. The guard activates when the pressure on the cutter is reduced, and you can even set the depth of cutter blade. It has three settings - light fabrics, lock and heavy fabrics.
Happy Scissoring, Scissorman |
