Level 5 Security Risk

[Dark Psion]

One of my coworkers does security for Thunder home games and other events in OKC.

This weekend he had to get extra security to escort someone out of an event.

The event? A Quilting Convention.

[Buglady]

Never underestimate how vicious a quilter can get if someone else nabs the last yard of the fabric she needs to finish the king-size quilt... LOL

(Seriously, some of the WORST SC's I have ever dealt with in 20 years of retail were at fabric stores O.O )

I'm betting money it was Ricky Tims.

Also I was totally down there and you know it.

Does security work "under cover"? :-)

[iradney]

have you seen how many sharp implements quilters use? horrifically long pins, short scissors, long scissors, those super sharp pizza cutters that can sever your TOE....

[Kanalah]

Yeah rotary cutters (look like a pizza cutter)...

They may be too dull to cut fabric, but they will cut skin. Trust me, I've accidentally nicked my finger many times.

And yes I have run my own finger through the sewing machine. Yes it hurt.

My mother: Triple gang heavy gauge needles sewing heavy canvas. (tipis, boat covers, awnings....)

Three holes at a time.

Owwww

*winces*

[morgana]

Run my thumb under the sewing machine needle one time. Holy Mother Isis, that's an experience I don't want to repeat . . .

And yeah, no place is safe from the suckies anymore. *sigh*

[Gizmo]

Yeah, had to rescue my finger from a sewing machine more than once... the funnest was when I stopped it halfway through the stitch and couldn't remember which way to turn it to get the needle back out of my finger again. Hubby was horrified when I called him over saying "ummm... can you help me a second".

I swear my costumes always require a blood price!
