Hugo's
Amazing Tape
This is what I personally use when my finger gets sore from
quilting. This is self adhesive plastic that sticks to itself. Cut
about a 4 inch length from it, wrap it over the sore spot on your
finger, making sure the tape overlaps without interfering with the
knuckle. Once on, hold the finger in the palm of your other hand,
using the heat of your hand to help "seal" the tape on. This
products allows you to feel even the slightest touch of the needle
without getting pricked up badly. One roll will last you ages
because you can reuse the tape, flip it over, reuse the other end,
move it along, etc. I am still on my first roll. I also have a small
amount wrapped around a film canister so when I travel, I have some
with me. This is a tool I teach with too. Anyone with diabetes,
breast cancer (whose affected side is the same as the under hand),
anemia, lymphoma, leukemia, or any blood disorder, should use Hugo's
Amazing Tape or not quilt. Since I have 2 of the above, I highly
recommend this product to all I teach. Generally they buy it just
because I have recommended it and allowed them a piece to use during
class.
