i was having a hard time counting my quilt pieces. My counting skills are fine but my fingers tips got so dry from working with the material that it was hard to pick up the pieces. I tried the eraser end of a pencil but had to push to hard to get it to pick up that I gave that up. Then I remembered with I used to count money for a company that I used a product called "SortKwik" - a fingertip moistener. A clean way to get a fast grip. It really works well for me so thought I would pass it along for those of you that may have experienced the same situation. Got it from a office supply store. Walmart didn't have any.
