Adjustable Thimble Protector for Quilting - Essential Quilting Accessories Review

I swapped out my knitting needles for a wonderful set of stainless steel ChiaoGoo wooden needles. I usually use my index finger to take the finished stitch off the hook and adjust the next few stitches. My poor finger started to hurt. I started looking for a thimble or some kind of finger guard and decided it was better to have a metal guard than a silicone one which makes my fingers sweat. I usually wear small dishwashing mitts but chose the medium size as it is adjustable. It fits my index…

What can you say about an article like this? I sewed "Mr. "Robot" on Dickie's brown work jacket - yes, Mr. Robot, just like in the show - and I'm not really the sewing type. It was manual work. Very slowly, slide the needle through the hard edges of this identical replica patch and through the tight sleeve. I just couldn't do it without a thimble to help the needle go through the fabric. These thimbles are really well designed and work great. Now I shock people across town when I wear this…

I've been looking for a thimble since I started quilting earlier this year. I have used several. The jelly-like thimble is my favorite for its shape, but the tip wears out quickly.

I've been known to sit and quilt all day (especially after…

A little upset about it. That's a bit my fault for not reading the full description. The order comes with only one thimble. All photos match, it looks like there are 2 in the order. Mine also came out of shape all bent and distorted. Firstly if I had known there was only one in the order I would have bought one of the other 4 sets of metal thimbles including this one for about $1-3 more. So this one at $5.99 before tax is a rip off. Second, as I said, mine came all bent and mangled. I was…

I love it. I have large, awkward fingertips and finding a comfortable thimble that stays out of the way has been a journey. I took her quilting. Now this is my thimble for all my handwork. This allows me to work more naturally. Unlike some styles of thimbles, it gets more comfortable the longer I wear it, and I often forget it's there after a while. It will not fall when opening the door or other short breaks. It is easy to resize and adapt to any shrinkage/swelling. Very good on the fingers…
