Jackie, what do you do for the problem?
Right now, my finger tips are so painful, that I have actually considered giving up quilting.
I don't prewash my fabric and find my hands dry out too. I cleaned out a fence row last summer and after wearing leather gloves for weeks, my fingertips were so cracked they would bleed. There's a miracle salve I found at Home Depot called Working Hands. Best. Stuff. Ever. It's now sold at Wal-Mart, Walgreens, etc, basically everywhere. It's like an instant healing miracle!
