Thimbles

I use a thimble on my left thumb all of the time. I used to buy the short black leather ones. Most recently I discovered that if I cut down one of the brown leather ones I use on my right middle finger they worked just great and didn't constantly fall off like the black ones because it has a bit of elastic to help it stay on. I usely cut down one I have used for a while that is well broken in and starting to wear badly.

I have replaced the idea of needing a thimble using these.
However, when hand quilting.. only use a quiters thimble, has a ridge around the top to catch the needle. differant from the round top thimble.
good post !

I use leather but I make my own by cutting the fingers off soft leather gloves. I found this is the only way I can get one big enough to go over my arthritic knuckles. I also use two sided carpet tape on my finger nail to keep it in place.
How desperate is that?LOL
