Owie!! So sorry you got hurt Charlene. Although many of us have had a similar experience (or worse), it is not necessary to test the sharpness of the rotary cutter to be a quilter -- LOL.
When I first started quilting in the rotary era, I got a nick in the blade and ran my finger along the edge to see if I could feel anything (the same way I used to test the sharpness of knives) -- not my brightest moment. I do feel your pain.

right now I am afraid to remove the bandaid for fear of it bleeding. I will check it again in the morning. As for the epson salt. ouch, I really do not want to pour salt in a wound. I may just put some superglue on it in the morning. This should hold it together. Oh and what kind of glove are you talking about wearing for cutting?
