I forgot how long it takes to develop a callous on my index finger when I haven't quilted for a month. This was a few days ago.
Today it looks like this. It's coming along but it's still tender. It will be a few days before I can quilt longer than half an hour at a time. I can wear a thimble on my middle finger but not on my index finger.
My goal is to finish hand quilting a 72" x 90" High Five by the end of March. I have some serious quilting to do!

There is a product that is like a heavy piece of tape that sticks to your finger. It works great. It's called ' thimble it'
ReplyDeleteOuch! That looks painful. I hope it hurries up and heals!
ReplyDeleteI've had that happen too. Not fun. I have seen those little pads you wear on the tip of your finger. I haven't used them, but it might be an option...for both of us!
ReplyDeleteI know what it means to have a calus like that. I'm sure that the cause is worth it. Good luck! Remember a little at a time goes along way.
