Those tiny Between needles can be wicked.<BR/><BR/>Maybe this will help someone re-conditioning their fingertips for sewing. <BR/><BR/>I start with a band-aid. You are right, I end up sticking my needle inn the same place, but for a while, the band aid buffers my tender finger tips until callouses can form.<BR/><BR/>Looking at me is an unopened package called UltraThimble produced by Colonial. I bought it long ago to use under my band-aids. The package is still unopened. LOL!<BR/><BR/>One possible help for those of us building callouses on our quilting fingers (and proud of them)... use a fingernail file (like the ones used on sculptured nails) to buff down the broken skin pieces. It looks nicer and provides fewer nooks and crannies for "bugs" to hide. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and I don't use my sculptured nail files for my hands...on my feet, nor do I share the files in the family. Even the dogs have their very own nail file that I use to buff down their toenails!

Never thought about that. <BR/><BR/>You've been making me miss my few forrays into cross stitching ... but the idea of re learning ...and re learning with a thimble? eeks. <BR/><BR/>Since I'm on Cellcept and Prednisone ... I'm in that category of immunosuppressed. <BR/><BR/>I'll just look at your pretty work and forget the needle work. <BR/><BR/>Since I'm essentially needle phobic anyway ... ;)Dreaming againhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717590226520457326noreply@blogger.com
