My worst binding day ever was last Thursday and I still want to scream
I was sewing a text block for a client's wedding guest book and my bone folder slipped right into my palm. Blood got on the paper, the thread, everything and I had to throw out a whole signature that took me 45 minutes to fold. Then my PVA glue bottle decided to clog up at the worst possible time, right when I was doing the spine lining. Has anyone else had a day where everything just fought back against you?

Oh man, I feel this so hard! But I gotta say, you are way tougher than me for keeping at it after that. @bettym89 is spot on about the universe being out to get you, but actually, the universe wasn't totally against you - bone folders are supposed to be dull enough to not slice you, so yours might be too sharp. I'd sand down the edge a bit before your next project. And for the PVA glue clog, try storing it upside down in the bottle so the clog forms at the bottom where it's easier to pop out next time. Hope your next binding day goes smoother, you deserve it after that nightmare!
