I can't believe...
Tuesday night I was just getting ready to change the my rotary cutter blade when my sister called. After visiting with her I went back to my sewing room and during the time I was on the phone my cat had knocked the new blade on the floor. 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.
|
Ouch - that hurt just thinking about it.
|
I feel for you. How's your kitty?
|
Oh your poor baby. and i was worrying about stepping on my lost straight pin!!
|
Oh...I know that hurt!!! I hope you get well fast!
|
Ouch! Hope your incision heals quickly. Thanks for the important tip.
|
So sorry - hope it heals soon.
|
Wow, even the old ones are viciously sharp. I bet that went deep. It's always the cat's fault around here.
|
So sorry that happened. I slice into my finger with one and it was not a pretty sight. Take care.
|
Yikes...
I guess you joined the club. i had a few quilting accidents... and people say quilting is boring. hope your feeling better soon. |
Oh no, heal up quickly!
|
I bet nobody asks for photos! So sorry this happened - hope you didn't bleed on any fabric!
|
ouch.sorry about your boo-boo but thanks for sharing so we do not do the same thing.
|
Oh, that darn cat! But of course he wasn't the one who left the blade laying around. Oh, that darn quilter!
|
So sorry to hear that--it must have really hurt. It's always the cat's fault!!! I noticed that the cat didn't get hurt, or did you leave that part out. lol

I did something similar. Lesson learned and now I wear slip ons till I get to sewing.. can't sew with shoes.. have to be bare foot..
|
My jaw dropped open as I read that! Youch!!
I hope you heal quickly. (At least it wasn't your hand...but was it your pedal foot?!!?) Alison |
Feel better and stay ahead of the pain! Tylenol, tylenol, tylenol, and maybe some Aleve.
|
Paulswalia: I was standing next to my stash and refused to grab any of it and bled all over my beige carpet (which will cost a lot more to replace). I just couldn't bring myself to use any of my fabric
|
thank you everyone for the well wishes. No the cat didn't get punished. It was my fault for leaving the blade unattended. And yes, it is my pedal foot. Oh well, a lesson learned the hard way won't be forgotten soon.
|
Hope your foot is feeling better.
|
Ouch - man that is not good. Hope the stitches heal quickly.

I was at my sister's once helping with a quilt when I noticed that she had left her rotary cutter open! I told her that is a quilter's sin, and what would have happened if one of her grandkids got a hold of it? |
So sorry for your mishap. Hope it heals well with not problem. I'll bet it hurts like the dickens! Healing thoughts coming your way!
|
Ouch!!! My Dh did that once with "salsa" chopper blade. Not good!!!

I'm so sorry to hear you stepped on the blade! Hope you heal quickly!
|
Ouch Hope it wasn't you sewing machine pedal foot.
|
So sorry about the accident. Hope you heal quickly!!
|
Makes my foot hurt thinking about it. Hope you heal soon!

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!

:(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.
|
Ouch! I hope you heal quickly!
|
did that one day too. am much more careful now when I am cutting.
