Several years ago I did that too. I was very tired and should not have been cutting, but did. Friend took me to ER...they glued on the piece I cut off. It took a while to heal. That finger is a little mishapened...but it works....

Sounds like that has to hurt a lot! May be it time for one of those finger guards that protects your finger from just such accidents. Of course Klutz Gloves wouldn't hurt either. I make use mine are tucked under my knuckles so this can't happen. Hope you have a speedy recovery. :-D :-D :-D

Hubby went to clean blood up in sewing room RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENEDand there was the side of my finger laying there, and couldn't get it to stop bleeding, so grab it and to the ER. i GUESS IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE

there is a klutz glove that is real good for people like us. made by fons & porter, sold at joanns. use a coupon.
great investment and not difficult to wear and work. this is also nice for pressing so you do not burn fingers either. Just saying.

The more I read, we could all make a slasher film. Yuk, blood & meat everywhere. I have almost done this a few times but I am more app to sew my finger or get it caught under the presser foot when I should be paying more attention. Note to self, go to bed & don't sew or cut fabric when you are toooooooooo tired.
