Rotary blades are sharp

Well, DUH!! This is a public service announcement. When
you are handling your rotary cutter, please remember
that the blade is sharp. This is true even if you are
using a circle cutter with teeny tiny blades. Those
cute little blades are capable of cutting at least two
fingers!! So, be careful. Now ... back to our regularly
scheduled quilting.

You really ought to try holding it with your hand, instead of your foot.
You get better accuracy that way. ;-)

Ouch! Don't even want to think about it. But I will tell you that
scissors are sharp too and if you drop them and they fall just right,
they will stick into one of your little toes. This, of course, is
something I read from a book one time and not a t hing that happened
to me last summer when I was barefoot and caused great laughter and
mirth on the part of my rude, rude sons.

BTW -- if you use Neosporin on the cuts on your f ingers they will
heal faster and you won't get an infection.

I am reminded of my mother who managed to sew a stitch in her index
finger with a Singer treadle machine, when I was a young lad. I never
knew my mother new those words until that time.

Pat, do we dare ask when you last had a tetanus shot and if you know where
your rotary blade has been? Pollly

And I managed to cut off a few inches of hair leaning over the fabric
a few years back.

Well, the good news is you shouldn't be doing dishes until they heal.
Why is it that blades are sharp against our skin but always seem
dull on fabric?
Thanks for the warning.
Be careful, Taria
