Sweaty Hands

[Corey.G]

I just thought I would share this tidbit as I have a problem with my sweaty hands sometimes and it gets rather annoying. What I do is I just use some baby powder (or gold bond works good too, but I don't like the smell) on my hands, just a light dusting and it seems to last a while for me. Only thing is it tastes a bit funny when I go to wet the ends of a thread to thread the needle. There will be a tiny bit of film on the threads, but nothing that you can see, and it will be washed out in the end.

What a great idea Corey and one I would not have thought of. In our hot summers I often have to stop stitching until late in the day or get up very early and stitch.
Thanks for the tip.

If Im going to be stitching for hours in my room, I usually keep a wet cloth in a towel next to me as my room is like an oven! May try the powder though as I usually end up sleeping on a wet patch! haha

Anywhere else I chose to stitch in the house im usually fine

I know but for me it's the couch. I'm usually sweaty (not grossly sweaty, but I sweat. I'm a man that's my excuse. Lol) when I sit on the couch because we have a leather loveseat that reclines on both sides. Never again do I want a leather couch! My back, the back of my knees, and hands are always sweaty.
