This stuff is terrific!!!!
One thing I have had problems with is my hands and fingers drying out from working with all the fabric and hand quilting. Well, there is a new product that has just been advertised "Vaseline Spray & Go". I bought it on Saturday morning and every time I washed my hands over the weekend, I just sprayed a little on each hand and rubbed it in...no residue, can work with the quilt right away and it is WONDERFUL...I can't believe how much better my poor hands look this morning. Smooth, finger tips getting softer and I love it....just wanted to share.

Just saw a commercial about this product. Good to know it lives up to it's promises. Thanks for sharing.
|
Thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely give it a try.
|
Thank You. I have the same problem with my hands. Glad to hear about something that works. Will keep a look out for it.
|
Wonder if it will work on my poor, cracked heels..hate shoes!!!
|
I'll have to look for it.
|
Me too on the hands and feet. I walk around all year, cold or hot barefoot. I'm gonna hunt for it this week. Thanks for the info.
|
Thanks for sharing this info. I thought it was me that seemed to have drier hands when I quilt.
|
Try Working Hands it is the best. After 25 years of Chicago cold weather I got so I never went without this product.

good to know ... will give it a try

Another good method for chapped hands--apply generous amount of vasolene to hands and put on your white gloves when you go to bed. Hands will heal overnight!
|
Try corn huskers lotion. It is inexpensive, works great, is kind of slimy when it goes on but it dries and it works great on cracked hands and feet. My Dad was a dairy farmer and used this for his cracked hands and it worked so I keep some in my house now for when winter does its duty to crack around my finger tips.

or my poor sore left elbow -its so dry and cracked it snags my sweatshirts. I have to go to the dreaded Wally store later so I will try it.
|
Two other things that work and won't stain the fabric are Udder Cream and Bag Balm.
|
yes wally world is a world wide saying.. i guess. i will have to try that..:)
|
Thanks for sharing. I saw it advertised on tv today - first time I'd ever heard of it. I'm going to get some of it next time I go shopping.
|
I have never heard of this. I work in a multiple disability classroom. We wash our hands constantly and practically bathe in hand sanitizer. In the winter we always have at least 2 kids with snotty noses. My hands crack and bleed. I will have to look for some.
|
where did you purchase it from? I've not seen ads here.
|
Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try. My hands are so dry and my fingers are cracked. I hate winter!
|
Oooh, that's good to hear!! I'm getting this product in the mail in a few days in a sampler program I am a part of, and now I'm excited to try it. I need something for my dry legs and it seems like the spray will be so convenient! How does it smell?
(Also - I wholeheartedly second the recommendation for the Working Hands product. My husband is an airplane mechanic and his fingers got so cracked and painful this winter, he could barely hold his fork to eat. I heard about this stuff, looked it up, found it at Ace Hardware in the paint section, and it was amazing for his hands/fingers!) You can read the reviews on amazon, too. Here's the link, if you're interested: http://www.amazon.com/OKeeffes-Worki.../dp/B00121UVU0 |
Oh thanks for letting us know ..

I knew you from Missouri as soon as I read "Wally store" LOL...we call it Wally world. Do they do this in any other state? QuiltHaven thank you for the info. There will be a sudden increase in sales now.
|
Will have to try it.
|
I got it at our Meijers store but I bet Walmart has it.
|
I love wool wax creme. My DDIL, who lives in Norway, says that is the only thing that works on her hands. They used to crack & bleed, especially in the winter. But after discovering this about 5 years ago, they no longer do that. I get mine through Amazon.
|
Did you know that if you put a hot moist wash rag on your dry areas first, before you apply vaseline or cream, the moisture will make your dry spots more moist. I always apply a hot moist rag to my face before I apply cream and I apply the hot moist rag to my hands before I put vaseline on them and white cotton gloves at bedtime. You need the moisture on your skin before you apply anything. It works much better. Try it.
|
Got some. Overrated and watery.
|
Thanks for the tip. I have hand lotion in every room of the house almost and always have to wait a while for it to soak in before I can play with fabric. The joys of living in a drier climate.
|
I use Kerodex for wet work. They have some for dry also. Target will order or just order directly from Amazon. about $6.00 for a large tube. Works great,even my dh uses it.
|
I bought it at Target.
|
That is great ..Thanks....
|
Thanks for sharing I was considering it when I go shopping next week.
