Finger saver
#21
I've begun a rather large hand quilting project and find my index finger gets sore quickly from pulling the needle through the quilt. I'm not using a thimble yet to push the needle as I haven't found one that fits right. However, at guild meeting yesterday a friend recommended Finger Cots....little latex things that roll down over your finger and wow, do they ever help get a grip on the needle!! Found them at Walgreen's in the bandaid/bandage department but they're probably available at any drug store.

I have used both the finger cots and the rubber fingers that you can purchase at any office supply store. I always used them when I was grading papers and finally realized that they would be great for sewing. They both work...just try them and see which one works best for you. Sometimes I put a rubber finger on the hand that is under the quilt...stops the needle pricks without having to wear a thimble.
