Never use your rotary cutter when sick. I had the brilliant idea to open a box, and sliced my thumb open. I bled through 3 band-aids!!
I am avoiding my cutter for the moment, until I recover from the cold - and the thumb!!! |
why in the world did you do that? be carefuller, please :cry: :cry:
|
Oooo, hope you get to feeling better soon. When my body doesn't feel good, my brain takes a break too and I can really do stupid stuff.
|
Okay, I can follow the initial thought, but the question immediately comes up "won't it make the cutter dull?"
My head is clogged up with a cold right now, too, and it sure interferes with thinking! |
I know how you feel, I dropped mine once, and cut a deep gash in my leg LOL I now have one that automatically closes.
|
now have one that automatically closes |
We all do silly things when we don't feel good. I hope you get to feeling better and your thumb heals fast.
|
I hope you soon feel better. My husband once set our house on fire when he didn't feel well. He thought making french fries would help. I was out of town and came home to find him, the kids and the cat at his mother's. We were out of the house 3 months while everything was redone.:cry:
Okay, maybe that didn't make you feel any better and I know your cut still hurts, but it could be worse I guess. Hope you're soon back to cutting! :| |
(((HUGS))) I hope that you get to feeling better soon, and that you leave the rotary for fabrics :wink:
|
Try avoiding your rotary cutter for anything other than cutting fabric.
|
oh my sure hope you get to feeling better, be extra carefully those cutters dont play
HUGS DOra |
O Bless your heart I hope your thumb heals fast and your head cold also..I have a flu and feel like crap myself
these last few days..Be extra careful of those Blade's from now on.. |
Ouch! I sure hope you heal fast, both from the cold and the cut.
|
I've done that too, and can totally relate! It hurts like crazy and it bleeds a lot. I sliced into my nail, and it's never been the same since. I will say, I don't mind having a quilter's scar...sort of a badge of honor.
Hope you feel better soon. Colds suck, to be blunt. |
Bless your heart. i hope it wasn't too bad. get better soon.
|
I thought of you when I got my tree out today. It was packed away last year in a new box and I had taped it shut. ( lots of tape ) It was nearly impossible to open and I couldn't find my box cutter. I spied my rotary cutter in my table and just for a minute thought about using it. Then I remembered you and your poor thumb and decided just to work the tape loose by hand. Thanks for saving me.
|
I usually have some sort of a 'nick ' on my left index fingernail....never bled... yet, but have taken off some of my finger print, thank goodness for calluses.Most of my accidents consist of bad fabric cuts, which I have to say are WAY more painful than losing some skin for me.
|
I was watching the Dr. Oz show just before Thanksgiving and he addressed cuts from knives while preparing for the holiday. One interesting tidbit--if you have a cut that just doesn't quit that slight "ooze", try using a product such as Visine. Visine reduces the bloodshot look in the eye and will help with stopping the "ooze" apparently!
|
Leave it to Dr Oz. I never would have thought of Visine, but it makes sense.
|
Ouch! God Bless You! Heal quickly!
|
Oh my goodness! I can feel it from here. I would almost rather have a broken leg than a cut of any kind. (notice I said almost). Hope you feel better. Get a nice cup of hot chocolate (do not spill it on yourself) and watch an old movie.
|
OUCH-but I did just that recently & applied an old remedy to the wound that really helped it heal....I applied blk.pepper right away..Does not burn or sting, but it speeds the clotting & healing/ I wrapped my finger in gauze leaving the pepper on, what a mess-but I did not ruin the project I was sewing.

Oh my... hope you are on the mend! I almost cut my finger a week or so ago.... and two days ago I bought a "Klutz Glove". I figure better safe than sorry. And I too like the cutters that automatically close. They seem to work very well for me.
|
I know what you all mean, when I wasn't feeling well I backed my car into my son's off duty police car! :roll:
|
I hate that you cut your finger, Trust me I know how you feel.
I cut the top of my index finder completely off a few months back while doing something stupid that involved the biggest sharpest knife we own and a banana. :roll: And I refused to go to the hospital to sew it on so I put the top of my finger back on and bandaged it up real good and let the good Lord handle the rest! I still have stupidity written on my forehead from that one. Lesson: never mix cold/flu medicine with sharp objects!!! Billy |
