I used to get blisters when I first started but fine now. I wasnt aware that the bottom of the needle was for pulling the twine tight Ive been using my hand.

If your struggling you can wrap your fingers in plaster or buy a pair of weight lifters mitts ,but keep the length of twine short and use the bottom legs of the needle .but after a wee while your fingers will harden up
