I'm back at the crazy hexes again and have pin pricked fingers. I didn't use a thimble, and have a hard time using one.
so does anyone know of a quick cure for the pin priched finger tips that come with hexes?? thanks

put off till tomorrow what you can do today, and if you procrastinate long enough, you may never have to do it.

Are you implying that muttering cuss words under your breath and sticking the pricked finger in your mouth is not a cure?
It takes a little practice and determination to learn how to use a thimble but I would keep trying. That is, unless, you have an extensive vocabulary as suggested above.Originally Posted by GrandmaNewt
There are a couple of tips here

For any small wounds, I find putting a little polyporin cream on before bed helps. It usually takes a couple of days for my finger tips to recover when I am hand quilting.
I like using these instead of a thimble:

I just love these little thing use them lots . Cathy
Ooooooh - I use these too and didn't know Walmart had them. Thanks for posting this. If I wore a thimble every day for the rest of my life I would never be able to use it. I've tried every kind you can imagine. The leather dots are the only thing that works for me.
The only remedy I have for sore fingers is just don't get stuck in the first place. Seems nothing helps except time. I use the dots when doing hand embroidery too.
