I've been quilting my top and I notice that I lick my fingers alot. I know it is unsanitary, but I can't seem to sew without licking. How about you?
|
Nope. Have never done that. I cook a lot and am extremely careful about sanitation in my home.
|
No, not unsanitary to quilt receipent, bacteria dies when saliva dries up. It is unsanitary to you, depending on where your fingers have been.
|
I have very dry hands & I do the same thing - but isn't that what the washing machine is made to take care of? :wink:
|
I do wet my fingers sometimes. I always wash quilts after they are finished so I don't feel guilty.
|
have you tried that "tacky finger" stuff? I bring home some from work when it's last bit of stuff in the can. It works wonders for dry fingers.
I try not to lick my fingers because I know where they've been. ;) |
I don't lick my fingers, but I manage to frequently stab myself w/pins so there's probably minute traces of my blood on things I've made *giggles*
|
I lick my fingers while sewing, never when cooking. I don't think it is any worse than moistening your thread.
|
I don't lick my fingers, but do use glycerin on my hands to prevent dryness when sewing.
|
i don't lick my fingers when I sew but I put the thread in my mouth when I thread a needle. It gives it a better point. I'm glad to hear any bacteria is gone when it dries.
