    Oh...ouch!!!!! I can almost feel the pain. I doubt tht you will be much good at binding so I might stick with the GO today.

    I like binding, so I 'm the wrong person to ask.
    Ouch! I have that gadget too and it is scarey!

    I hope you are feeling better. Good advice for others to learn from your experience.

    I'm into finished these days, so I'm not the one to ask. I just knicked the top of my fingernail using a mandoline yesterday. Better than how you found out.

    Ouch!! I am so careful with the slicers and graters because I know how bad that hurts. Plus, my family doesn't like bits of skin and blood in their food...go figure.

    I still have a mid size stack of quilts that need binding. I used to breeze through binding quilts but lately every time I do a binding I struggle and fight with it. It's those darn corners that just won't behave.

    Hope your finger feels better. Maybe suing the go would be better than doing the bindings. Give your finger a rest.

    Play with your dies and leave the binding for a day when you need something mindless to do. :-)

    Ahh!! Be careful! Thanks for the heads up. Probably something I would do.

    Maybe bind one or start binding one and play, too?

    My Mandolin scares the crap out of me. So, I don't do anything in addition to slicing and dicing. I focus only on that. AND, I let hubby clean the dang thing. Not me. :-)

    That is a serious grater. Big ouch. Thanks for the warning.

    Binding or playing with dies. Difficult choices. I bet you can do both if you set your mind to it.

    sI bought a mandolin a couple of years ago but still have not used it because it scares me and I am easily distracted. I think you better take a play day till you heal. Blessings Sandra

    Day before yesterday I was slicing sweet potatoes and the holder slipped. I sliced my thumb. Can you say deep and wide? Bled forever because I had taken two major aspirins an hour before (1000 mg!). It's raw meat and will be a long time healing. I REALLY feel your pain! Blessings, Marlene

    Oooh! I hope you are okay. I had a similar unfortunate situation with a rotary cutter while talking to my husband last week.

    That slicer is BAD! Lydia cut herself so bad once, I thought she would need stitches. I refuse to use the thing!! Be careful dear Barb!

    I had a witty comment all typed out, but when I went to send it, it disappeared. Still having problems leaving comments on your blog. So I am trying again.
    All I can say is, "Ouch!"

    Looks like my hubby's engineering stuff, not quilting tool. It bites, eh?

    Yowza! Those PC blades are sharp! I have a friend who did a real number on her finger with one. Hope you're healing well from your cut.
