    Please for all of us quilters, get the Klutz glove from Fons and Porter. It's not cut proof but cut resistant.
    There is also a cutting guard available from O-Lipfa, which attaches to your ruler. I haven't tried this one yet.

    Let there be any protector for your fingers underneath your Christmas tree this year. (Should you celebrate Christmas). If you don't let it be a wonderful present without any special occassion, or make one up!

    I am so sorry, and that hurts like crazy when it is healing...guess how I know? Yepp, done it...more than once! We get in a hurry and it just takes one nano-second, unfortunately. I have also sewn through the top of my thumb, bled, got a band-aid and kept on sewing. I guess power tools are not the only dangerous things in the house, huh?

    Took my 4 yr old into my sewing room to retrieve a piece of fabric last week. While I dug around he found a five pack of blades. I turned around to see him try to push them across the floor like wheels. Thankfully not cut but had to show him just how sharp they are. And I moved their storage place to thwart curiosity.

    OUCH! I think you should ask for an Accuquilt Go for Christmas. I hope your finger gets well soon.

    After being told numberous times not to play with my cutter my grandson cut the tip of his left index finger off. Fortunately it was not a large piece, just the very end but big enough to hurt. The grandkids don't play with the cutter anymore.
