cute little blades are capable of cutting at least two
fingers!! So, be careful. Now ... back to our regularly
scheduled quilting.

Ouch! I'm sorry you had to discover that the hard way, Pat, and I hope
you'll be feeling better soon. Remember, though, that doing dishes and
other housework will be out of the question for the time being! You
wouldn't want the cuts to get infected, would you?

Ouch! You didn't get blood on the fabric, did you? Or worse, on the
chocolate???

So sorry about the injury! I will be extra careful in the future, thanks to
your sterling example.

Gentle cyber-kisses for your wounded fingers. As others have mentioned,
cleaning, scrubbing and dishes are a no-no for a little while. Another
warning: make sure that there's NOTHING but the fabric you're cutting on the
mat - just messed up a new blade by running into a "hiding" pin! Daggone,
we all need reminders to be careful!...

hoping fingers better real soon. i might have possible solution for
everyone. i'm one of those ppl who cuts the absolutely wrong way,
towards myself. this of course causes everyone to go nuts, esp when
i'm teaching a class. NOT GOOD!!! anyway, my s-i-l works in the
automotive industry, and he gave me a pair of kevlar gloves, the kind
that he uses when he's doing all sorts of engine work. they work
great!!! can run a brand new blade over whole hand and the blade does
not cut thru, altho silk pins do poke thru. now when i teach, i wear
at least one on my left hand, and no more worries. life is good
