When using a clover iron do you stick out your index finger and burn it?
Do you hunt for ages for that needle you placed in the pin cushion while you went to ....?

One that I have to keep reminding myself of everyday: The shoemaker's elves don't do piecing and quilting!!

OMGosh, this post is painful to read

After having read all the current replies to this post, I want you to know what a pleasure it is to be among human beings who drop pins, burn themselves on their irons, step on fallen needles, try to catch falling rotary cuters and/or irons. Have some of you also burned a pan of cookies or baked a cake that fell? So many women I know have never, never experienced any of the things mentioned. Being around them is soooo intimidating! froggyintexas

That's why I threw the clover iron away!

I have a friend who loves horses, keeps several on her farm, but refuses to ride them. "Why?" I asked her. She is a social worker working with people who have suffered brain injuries. A couple of the people's injuries involved horses. Now she is fearful of riding herself. After reading this and experiencing my own situations, I can understand where she is coming from .... rotary cutters, irons, scissors, pins and needles are all dangerous weapons and some days I shouldn't play with them.

Been there, done it all. Now I try to THINK before I leave a needle, look for a pin on the floor, etc. Easier to do that than be injured!

I would also add no one is allowed in the quilt room without shoes on. In case there is a needle on pin on the floor that you don't see.
