This something I was considering. My SIL quilts with her ring finger. I'm open to both ideas. I'll have my hand kit ready to go this week, within the next couple days. I'm going to try them and if the two other fingers don't work for me, I'll wait until the stitches come out. I know my finger will be stiff afterwards, but as long as I can quilt again someday (SOON I HOPE!!!) I'll be alright.

Hubby went and picked me out a new opener yesterday. I'm still learning how to use it, but it likes all can sizes equally.
