Thanks for the advice and encouragement. I'll look into the special tools as time goes on. Right now, it just hurts when I use the computer. But it came on so quick. Just in the last couple weeks. *sigh* The swelling was there on occasion before, the the pain just started.
But I'll look forward to quilting for a while yet, even if I have to give up on learning hand quilting. I wasn't so sure about that anyway. I'm too impatient. :lol:
