I just love handquilting!
#13
O.K. I'm going to use this for personal gain, if that's all right. Since I've found all you hand quilting enthusiasts, can you please tell me how to build up a callous on my under finger? I hand quilt for a couple of hours in the evening, my under finger is so sore that I can't do it for several more days, and then I have to start all over again. I've tried "NuSkin" and "Liquid Bandage", and those sticky circles, but they don't help much and sometimes make it worse. Any suggestions, tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hope I didn't break any forum rules by doing this.

I love hand quilting too. I am working on one for a friend that has been so very sick. She got home from the hospital Tuesday after being there for almost 7 months. This is truly a work of love for her.

I love handquilting also I do machine quilt my borders and smaller projects like wall hanging etc. I find hand quilting so relaxing it is nice to hear that there are others out there that are still handquilting. HORRAY. :)
