Do your hands hurt

Jill · Post by **Jill** » Sat Mar 18, 2006 10:07 am

Hi all I am new to this forum. I've been doing cross stitching for two years now since my friend introduced me to it and I am hooked, I just can't put it down. I do big projects but mainly now do small squares which I make into cards and I am now planning to send some off to charity as they keep mounting up.

Does anyone find their hands hurt after cross stitching for a while? How do you remedy this?

Hi I have thes ame problem and use ergonomic support gloves, they have no fingers, are made of lycra and spandex and really work. I got mine at Michaels--about $12 each I think had them awhile. Most craft specialty stores sell them. Linda

I sometimes have a problem, with my hands & wrists, if you are in the uk, I got some support gloves from www.sewandso.co.uk
they really help.
