TO USE IT. I press with all my might and still half of the fabric isn't cut. About to give up.

Yes the 1st time it was a nick the 2nd wasn't I had my thumb on the ruler -fingers on the fabric Yep cut the web couldn't be stitched they taped my thumb to my index finger with yards of tape and tell me DON"T get it wet or use the afflicted area I am right handed I didn't miss washing dishes --Bathing myself was a challenge I think all my furniture has dents from vaccuuming left handed Since then I've been extra careful now its only my nails so I figure they must have needed clipped anyways

I cut my finger 3/8 to 1/2 of an inch circle off the end of my left ring finger. It was a circle of skin lost . It was VERY painful and bloody. It occurred at a class at our Quilt Group. I got distracted and poof it was done. I got help from a member of the group and got packed up and got to my car. I drove myself to the hospital with pressure on my finger holding it in a tight grip. I got to the hospital and had an injection to my hand to numb the pain. I did not feel very good. I was off work for 2 weeks and had to go to my Dr every 3 days to make sure it was healing well.
I tried the finger guards and they come off, so I changed my practice.... my fingers are 1.5 to 2 inches from the edge, I do not let myself get distracted and I use a handle on my ruler as much as possible. Be Careful. Oh and I am a Nurse! Live and learn.
