I don't recall quite how it happened, but here's how it ended:
Beware the new blade! I didn't feel anything at first but knew I nicked myself (oh, what a nick!) because I watched my hand bump into the rotary cutter. When I inspected the damage, blood was dripping down my wrist and I could see inside my skin. I know, sick right?!
Notions for my fellow accident-prone, blade-wielding seamsters:
Got any gruesome rotary cutting tales to share? Comment with your story or a link!!
Yikes! Hope you're patched up. I've done that too! You're brave to take a pic. This wknd I had an incident involving my plastic ruler on my wood floor and me sailing through the air like I slipped on a banana peel. Dangerous business this quilting thing.
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie! Well, I always told myself that I would take a picture in the event of a rotary disaster, and luckily my accident wasn't too bad. I like the ruler/banana peel image. Dangerous business indeed!
ReplyDeleteYou are not the only one who has cut yourself. I thought cutting aluminum foil for my DD's princess party for some wands. And was in a hurry, forgot to move my index finger out of the way. Oops. Sliced off the edge. A trip to the ER to get the bleeding stopped. And now no fingerprint on that edge of my finger. Enjoyed reading your blog.
