Hi You can have RA with a zero factor in you blood, I think it is about 20% of the RA cases that don´´t have the factor. (I don´t have that factor but still has RA). As you have the RA factor I hope you get the right medication for RA too. It is important to start that as early as possible I have been told by my fellow RA friends, as it takes longer time for the illness to develop (of course that also are different from different persons) severly. I can see some friends at the hand training class that are so much worse in just a couple of years, sigh.
Do consider a roller pillow for making lace in lenght, you won´t have to move the lace up as when you use a block pillow. Just go round and around :-)) And the height difference between the roller and the pillow helps you stretch the threads.
