Hi Sue and everyone If I vary regular-head steel pins with glass headed pins, my right pushing-in fingertip doesn't get sore. The finest pins I have been able to find, the Clover silk pins with red or white heads, are even good for fine Buckspoint. When I used to do Honiton, eventually I would get the wee pin heads stuck in the fingertip (v. painful), then I'd have to stop for awhile, or use the left hand (and then stop for awhile). The adhesive pads were 'ok' (find them in quilters' notions - on me they leave adhesive goo on the skin), and a leather finger tip was 'ok' (I thought it too bulky) - but not the same as being able to push the pin in directly.
