Those that have fingers that are not shredded, I'll ask how they hand quilt. Maybe they don't!Tom Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463033824387830517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914103879800300349.post-64623338630491666302009-01-08T04:48:00.000-05:002009-01-08T04:48:00.000-05:00Ah, Tom, I feel your pain!!!!!!!!Seems we're all a...Ah, Tom, I feel your pain!!!!!!!!<BR/>Seems we're all a part of the walking wounded. Ok, well sitting, quilting wounded. I to use a thimble on top, nothing on the bottom. I'd like to master using a thumb thimble as well so I can quilt forwards and backwards faster and easier. Someday......<BR/>ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087070926994818007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914103879800300349.post-13442310557754695222009-01-07T22:19:00.000-05:002009-01-07T22:19:00.000-05:00Oh I feel your pain!

Just can`t find one I am comfortable with.tismehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08766742640496647829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914103879800300349.post-60096196735333420592009-01-07T20:13:00.000-05:002009-01-07T20:13:00.000-05:00Two fingers, middle and index on the left hand loo...Two fingers, middle and index on the left hand look like yours most of the time. I also use a paddle thimble. I hate anything on my finger! <BR/><BR/>This is exactly why I have quilts stacked up waiting. When I lived in Lancaster, Thursday was quilting day in the barn. When you have 12 ladies rotating you can finish a quilt in a day, not so with one person.<BR/><BR/>Yep, you look like you are doing fine! You have the quilting finger down pat!Holeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13724824435789407791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914103879800300349.post-50110901574036347912009-01-07T19:49:00.000-05:002009-01-07T19:49:00.000-05:00Sherry, I guess the chair is a mission style.

Course I sit on the front edge of it to quilt; all the whilt listening to the TV. <BR/><BR/>I also think quilting is just as dangerous as wood carving...Tom Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463033824387830517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914103879800300349.post-84097509657644746872009-01-07T19:31:00.000-05:002009-01-07T19:31:00.000-05:00Oh my Tom!!!

I tried them, but you can't feel the needle when it comes through the quilt.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513708092559742434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914103879800300349.post-6670811148283393912009-01-07T19:15:00.000-05:002009-01-07T19:15:00.000-05:00I don't use anything on my hand under the quilt ei...I don't use anything on my hand under the quilt either. My fingers look like yours until I get a callous built up. First the pads of my fingers get tender, then I turn my finger a bit and the side gets tender. I do not use a thimble on my right hand either, choosing to use a 'paddle' thimble. If you go to my blog, I have a photo of it.<BR/><BR/>Um...is that a Mission-style chair you are sitting in to quilt?Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513708092559742434noreply@blogger.com
