Thank you Vicky, this was very helpful. I have RA and fibro and am always looking for ways to make sewing easier. I've put a few things in my amazon basket now! Take care x
Some great tips Vicki. Your Donny looks great and I love the tee shirt pattern. It’ll be a lovely palate cleanser after your gorgeous Frocktails dress 💕
Thank you Lynne . A palate cleanser it definitely has been 🥰
These are great tips! Especially the neck collar and electric scissors. ❤
I appreciate you saying . Thank you 🥰
Thank you for sharing Vicky, this was very useful.
Your welcome Trish 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your aids…some things I’ve never heard of so I’ll take a look….keep well ❤😊
So glad , I dragged myself off the sofa for this one , It does help though especially if it’s of use to someone !! xx
Hi Vicky, thank you so much for this very useful video. I am going to look into the electric scissors, the heated neck and back thingy and the thumb brace. I should have just said everything haha. Anyway Mr Googlepants says :- Baby Lock sewing and embroidery machines are made by Brother and are almost identical internally to their Brother counterparts. The main differences are the brand name, accent colors, and under-lid stitch chart. So there you have it for those looking at buying an overlocker.... Take care x
Hi Norma , so glad this has been of use . I think it can cause so much upset , that through disability and Arthritis it can take away what we love . We are a determined lot though !!. Wish I’d known about the Brother factory prior to my purchases 😩. Happy sewing and Take Care x
You are incredibly Vicky - how you manage to make incredible things is inspiring x
Orrrr Thank you Alison , I could say very much the same about you ❤️
This was so helpful!! Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Your more than welcome , thank you 🥰
Thank you. I have osteo-arthritis in my thumb joints and tendonitis. The past 8 months have been difficult for me to do daily tasks let alone sewing! I have been plugging away at it, though. Will be having surgery soon. I appreciate any tips that can help me (and others) continue to sew. There are some youtube videos on hand yoga that can be helpful. An artist/quilter has some and her name is Heidi Parkes.
That’s all we can do , just keep plugging on . I think I will have to bite the bullet and have surgery eventually. Hand yoga!!, will have a look at that thank you !!!!
I have found this incredibly helpful - given me some ideas on how to help myself. Thank you so much for sharing xx
So glad Becs , DM me if you need help with anything ❤️
@@Thefibrosewist thank you lovely - I might take you up on that x
Thank you for the info Vicki, I've ordered the Willcom thumb brace. I use Fiskar Easy Action Softgrip fabric scissors which I find much easier to use than traditional scissors because they are sprung and open automatically 😊
Your welcome !!. Will have a look at the Fiskar scissors , thank you for that Elaine 😊
Hi again Vickie, thank you for your hints and tips they're very useful.
I have osteoarthritis everywhere had knees and hips replaced also I had decompression for my spondylitis which if I'm totally honest hasn't really helped. I told you last week about my hands. I saw a hand surgeon but all the joints in all the fingers are too fused he did offer me injections and or surgery for my thumbs but like you I don't want to lose sewing time, I sew every day its my 'need' and distraction. I shall look at the splints you mentioned as the ones I have aren't helpful.
Thanks again Vickie happy sewing
Hi Susan , you hit the nail on the head !!, “distraction “. I tend to this what did my relatives have to help them years ago , they just got on with it !. I muddle through doing the best I can , with that I find my own solution. Happy sewing to you also , and hope your Daughter is ok xx
My husband used to have a wax bath to ease the pain in his hands. Thankyou for sharing x
I will research that Deb . I know I’m fortunate to have things to ease discomfort xx
@@Thefibrosewist
Not easy living with constant pain I know, keeping going is so important. Xxx
