Members SandSquid Posted April 28, 2012 Members Report Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Any ideas on how to make a stall / sleeve to keep my pinky finger from being chafed raw while stitching? Edited April 28, 2012 by SandSquid Quote
Members Glendon Posted April 28, 2012 Members Report Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Fingerless gloves. http://springfieldle...appa%2C1-1-2oz/ http://www.glove.org/default.php Seriously, great project. Make a normal pair of gloves, then cut off the tips of the fingers right at the first knuckle so you still have your finger tips for fine control. There might be more professional sewing tricks out there, but this works. Edited April 28, 2012 by Glendon Quote
Members SandSquid Posted April 28, 2012 Author Members Report Posted April 28, 2012 I was thinking more of leather tubes I could slip my pinkies into... once they start to mold/form to my finger they should stay in place. Quote

After much procrastination I purchased a curved awl and attempted my first circular project. The stitching is fugly but my pinkies are really digging their new stalls when I'm hand stitching! Quote
Members Tina Posted June 30, 2012 Members Report Posted June 30, 2012 I use a green wood carvers tape, works like a charm :-) (the link is just some random one I found for this purpouse) http://www.mhcrafters.com/servlet/the-2508/Green-Gauze-Finger-Tape/Detail Quote
