Grammie sent in this tip about how she solved the problem of her arms getting tired when stitching. She writes, "When you are stitching for very long after you get older get yourself a Boppy. I found mine at Target. Actually they are in the baby department and are meant for mothers to lay their babies on while nursing. I have found they work wonders for tired arms. The Boppy is crescent-shaped and fits around your tummy. It is very comfortable and enables you to stitch for a longer time with no problem. Why didn't they have them when my boys were little over 30 years ago?"
