Hoop tightening tip...may not be new to all Cuties, but thought it was worth mentioning...You know those rubber jel round tubes you slip over pencils or pens to cushion your finger? Cut them in half, slip the mini tube over the metal tightening screw on your hoop and, voila, you can tighten that screw soooo tight and not hurt your fingers...

Hey, good idea! Just don't tighten so tight you strip the screw, hee hee hee. But even turning it is hard on my hands, this might make it way easier, never thought of it, thanks a bunch. Hugs, Marji

That's what I use on mine as I can't seem to hang onto them and this works great.
