While on this subject ladies. What finger cot do you recommend for your thumb while hand quilting? I have been using the fingers out of platex gloves but I seem to continue to stick my thumb.

My hand surgeon told me the first sign of arthritis can show up in the thumbs which radiates up the arm, go get an injection of cortizone hurts like heck, but then its ok for 6 to 24 weeks.

It was jammed, he sneeked up on me and unjammed it ( that was yesterday) today, I am going to do some sewing, which I haven't been able to do for almost two weeks. He adjusted my fingers as well. No pills, no doctor telling me it would take a while to get better....just and adjustment and I feel really good. Works on my shoulders too after sewing to long.

Without my Chiropractor I prolly wouldn't be able to move. I see him every 2 weeks, and it doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes! ROFL!! Oooops, now I can't get up! |
I don't get thumb pain but my whole hand falls asleep while hand quilting...so annoying because I have to stop quilting. Does anyone else have this problem and what do you do for it.

I don't have any thumb pain when I hand quilt. Do you know what causes it ? Maybe some Aleve if it's muscle pain.
|
Being a south paw, I have found that I can quilt with both hands. This really helps me when one hand is trying to
"give out" on me. Also, I really like using Biofreeze. It's temporary, but allows me to finish a row or two. Good luck. |
