Does anyoneelse have calluses on their finger tips from quilting by hand? And, if you go for awhile with quilting, do your fingers heal and get sore all over again. Is there a happy medium?

I'm the same - calluses all over the place. The first few days, pin pricks and hurting, eventually calluses. When I finish that project, healing over until the next. Just a viscious cycle. Learn to enjoy.

If I feel my calluses getting soft, no matter what else I am doing, I stop and hand quilt. Those calluses are to be treasured!
