For the second day running, Ricki West has fronted Albury Local Court in a bid to get out of custody.
"You're on notice," magistrate Richard Funston told the 39-year-old on Tuesday.
IN OTHER NEWS:
"This is a serious judicial warning, that if you do anything foolish again, if you go anywhere near the complainant, you won't get bail.
"You've got to just get out of here. It's an extraordinary position you placed the court in."
West was charged with domestic violence-related wounding following a fight with her partner of five years on Sunday night.
She intends to plead not guilty to the charge, claiming - through lawyer Tim Hemsley - that in an act of self-defence she grabbed the knife when allegedly assaulted by her partner, 36, in their North Albury caravan park cabin.
But Mr Funston warned West on Tuesday that irrespective of any submissions on self-defence, she had to stay well away from the complainant.
She must live with her brother at Lismore, near Geelong, and not enter NSW unless attending court.
West returned to the Albury Central Tourist Park within half an hour of being granted bail on Monday about 11.30am to get her car and her belongings.
Police said it was alleged, in an apprehended violence order contravention to be contested by West, that she went inside the cabin, staying for long enough to pull out some scissors and smoke cannabis.
West disputed that and later told the court she now had no need to go back to the caravan park.
"The police have got eight bags of my belongings and last night put these in the back of my car," she said.
