This comment has to do with your tip about dart tips. Looking at that dart, I thought, that’s going to be quite a pointy one. I have a tip for keeping darts from being quite so pointy. As you’re sewing the dart, aim as if the dart is supposed to end about 3/8″ short of where the end dot is. Then when you get within about 1/4″ of this shortened dart end, turn gently to the real end.

plantar fasciitis

May 7, 2014 #

It should be combined with all of the above stretches.
That would certainly be annoying, not to mention unproductive.
The pain from plantar fasciitis is described as being dull,
aching or sharp (all three for me) and can usually be reproduced by flexing the toes
upwards and tensing the fascia.
