Update: Sewing lace by hand changed how I work

I added lace to a skirt without a machine. My fingers hurt until I tried a thimble. What tools do you rely on for hand sewing?

Honestly, hand sewing lace is a total game changer for detail. Tbh, a good pair of embroidery scissors with fine points changed everything for me, way better than regular ones. Ngl, using beeswax on the thread before I start makes it so much stronger and stops it from tangling. A needle threader is a lifesaver for those tiny eyes, I won't even try without one now. Good light and a magnifier lamp stopped my eyes from hurting as much as my fingers.
