surgical gloves and hand stitching

[BradB]

I was at work the other day and was in the supply area and they had some of the finger covers used for counting paper, etc. I thought they might work well so I grabbed 2 of them and tried then one on my thumb and the other on my index finger and they worked great, next time I am at Costco or office depot I am going to buy a box of them.

Your hands do not get hot and they grab the needle really really well. I actually like them better than the surgical gloves.

Give them a try and let me know what you think!!

I don't do any more hand stitching than I absolutely have too because of the arthritis in both hands, . . . but when I do, . . . I use a lap pony (sit on it between your knees, under your thighs), . . . and a pair of small electricians needle nosed pliers.

A friend at work busted the tip off of them a few years back, . . . my boss said I could have them, . . . so I ground off the tips even, . . . just had em laying around till one day I needed em. They work wonders.

But I do use the gloves for dyeing and finishing. The only thing I don't like about Resolene is getting the stuff on my hands.

May God bless,

Brad - been using them for some years, only difference is I use just one one my index finger and that gives me plenty of grip - tried on both and found it didn't make a lot of difference - any harder to pull than that and I use pliers. Great thing is they seem to last a long time especially if you spin them around and use a different are to pull with.....
