I was barefoot and yup, stepped on it and had to get six stitches. Lesson learned--don't interrupt the process of changing blades and getting rid of the old ones, for any reason at all.
Hi Scrapngmom,
I feel for you. I have always taken my shoes off to sew, so I have had my share of foot hurts too. Hope you foot feels better soon.

OUCHY!!!!!! I can only imagine how that hurt. Maybe we need to start a list of ways to damage your body while quilting. I'm sure there would be some tall tales in that volume! Hope you get better soon!

Yes, I did that, too. I was running the cutter along a piece of aluminum foil (having heard it "sharpens" the blades) and ran it right into my left forefinger. I was able to close the cut with butterfly strips but now understand wearing quilter's gloves when cutting (though I still don't have those gloves).

:(sorry to hear of your accident. It set my teeth on edge. I did something a long time ago & so can feel your pain. I put my lg Olfa (locked) in the back pocket of my jeans & went on several errands (in & out of car) last stop it nailed my posterior. & cut my jeans. Cushioned so didn't bleed in the car. Hope you heal fast & if you can't quilt can use the time to come up w/ new ideas for future quilts. When the foot is ready of course.

I winced in pain just reading that! I'm so sorry that happened to you.

yeeeooooowch. Hope you heal soon. I've warned my kids, and they think I'm kidding, that they are so sharp that they won't even feel it cut until it's too late. Thanks for the warning.

That hurts! Hope you get well soon.

I hope you are feeling better today and that you can still sew with your injury!
