    Default Not taking any chances

    After seeing people comment on cutting themselves with their rotary cutter,I just bought a "Klutz Glove" ! I've given myself some slices,nothing serious,usually because I left the cutter open and slid up against it. But I've been alittle paranoid when I'm cutting since reading the comments..afraid the blade would jump over my ruler or something...so I took my 40% off coupon to Joanns and bought a glove!!!

    Very good investment! Coupon or no coupon, how much are your fingers worth? Every quilter should have one.

    I'd leave some smart aleck remark about "living on the edge", but then the next time I used my rotary cutter you know I'd do something stupid and end up in the ER.

    I have never cut myself w/the rotary cutter after the first and I hope :knocking on wood: only time! I remember it well...Christmas Eve, finishing presents, cut my thumb right to the bone! And who has time to go get stitches then??? I'm amazed I don't have a scar....

    I have to say I have never cut myself either. A glove would be awkward for me to wear and I would never remember it anyway. Putting a glove on and off every time I need to cut would be a PIA . I usually cut some then sew , then cut some and sew. Been lucky so far and the only time I did knick myself was when I forgot to close the cutter. (knock on wood) for future safety

    A Klutz glove, what an appropriate name for me!! I always say "there is a REASON that my mother did not name me Grace!" I have been fortunate (lucky) so far and not even a nick. But am uber paranoid about getting cut. I too, think that the on/off of a glove would be a pain, but like someone above said.....what are my fingers worth??? Guess that goes on my "better get it SOON list".

    I'm laying the cutter ON the glove to remember to use it. It is a little awkward because I also am multi-tasking but that's when I'm the most dangerous !!!

    Good for you. I have a healthy respect of the cutter and pay close attention to the position of my little piggies. So far so good.

    I bought a Klutz Glove. Had never cut myself before but I thought it was better to be safe than sorry. Started to use it. One day I took it off for one minute because I needed to pick up something and forgot to put it back on. I sliced my finger (small cut). I looked at my finger in shock. I really try to remember to use my glove from now on. I still forget but I am certainly trying to remember.
