Poke-a-Dot Sticky Thimbles
I happened across a video for these on the Jillily site & decided to pick up a box at my local LQS. OMG! They are amazing! I am able to do my needle turn applique 4x faster! Not only are they great for protecting my sore little fingers without the bulk of a traditional thimble, they also have this rubbery like surface that makes them great for gripping my needle to pull it the rest of the way through the fabric. I paid $9 for 18 of them and they are reusable (not sure how many times I can reuse them, but I've taken them off and put them back on no problem.
Just wanted to pass along this fun find to any other hand appliquers out there (especially if you do turned edge or needle turn).

I think the ones I have are a different brand. But they stay on forever. I have even forgot I had it on and showered. It stayed. I also do most of my applique on road trips, and they hold up to several hand washings.

i've been using them since i tried hand quilting. now at least half of my group uses them. soooo handy, i have used one for long periods of time and would probably still be using it if i didn't lose it. it's probably stuck to one of the cats or dogs.
