I use a thimble to sew on quilt bindings and find if I get my finger damp, not dripping the thimble stays on until I have to do something else. I have a problem of it not staying on if my fingers get cold.

My problem is I can't find a thimble that will stay on my finger. Nails are clipped, so that's not the problem. Have tried inserts, but they get gummy. Yuck!
I've bought several "small" thimbles, but still too big. What do you all do who have thin fingers?
Does anyone have a source for finding thinner thimbles? I'm singing the blues because my finger is sore and blue. :roll:

You're all the way in Australia??? I couldn't possibly bother you for a thimble. The cost of mailing would break the bank. It's very kind of you and I thank you. When at the quilt show in San Diego, I found 2 silicon ones that may work. They were the smallest I could find. I'll try them soon and hope they work. Thanks again for your thoughtfulness. Rose
