Scary, hope you heal quickly and can get back to quilting soon.

I believe I've seen a safety edge to put on your ruler so that won't happen to you.
Like someone else, when I read your post, my stomach flipped. I can just imagine how sore your finger is!! So sorry this happened to you. Being tired really does cause accidents doesn't it? I've learned to quit before I get to that point to, but sure understand how this happened.

That must have really hurt. Everytime I use my rotary cutter from now on I will say prayer for you and remind my self to be careful.

So sorry this happened. When this heals be sure to get a klutz glove! Those cutters are super sharp!

My time

A quilter's worst nightmare. So sorry you've been hurt. How many stitches did you require

Oh my! Blessings on a quick heal. I so dread the thought of this happening to me but I know it will at some point.

I have fallen several times when trying to push my body & had a few tiny nicks from the rotary cutter. We really have to tune in to ourselves and rest when we need to. I am good at pushing myself, also.
I hope your finger heals quickly!

I can truly provide sympathy. I did the same 14 years ago. It hurt for a long time, but works fine now. I also now never put the rc down without closing it and always wear a clutz glove.

If you lived in my house you would be banned from using the rotary cutter.

I cut the tip of my finger off with the hedge trimmer (husband kept putting off trimming the bushes so I decided to do it myself). I had to call my brother to take me to the ER. So I am banned from using it.

I am also banned from using the weed whip-you don't want to know why.

Have cut myself once with the rotary cutter (not badly)but I didn't tell anyone or those would be gone.
