The only thing I could think to say is to try and not pull it quite so tightly. I used to have this problem until I altered my knotting technique. Are the cuts happening on the very tips, like at your nail or on the second joint? Try to hold your string differently for a while at least until the cuts heal and then try to pull at less of an angle to avoid serious friction. Good luck! |

I use embroidery floss, and it kinda does the same thing to me.....try pulling the string at an angle to tighten it...like maybe up and out instead of just to the side. Or even try wrapping it around your finger when tightening, that way it get's leverage to tighten but does cut certain parts of your fingers:) |

as odd as it sounds i place a small drop of nail glue like for press on nails right where ur getting cut i had the same problem it creates sort of a blocker and then peels off :) |

Well if it isn't cutting you right on the tips, I would suggest maybe putting tape around your finger. Or a bandaid. Ha ha but they have their disadvantages too. Sometimes it's hard to bend your fingers if you do that. :) |

or you can get some bandaids from the dollar store and use those to 1: heal the cuts and 2: protect from more |
