Worked great until I managed to poke the needle through it more than once and gave up on that plan. I'm one of those strange people who can put a thimble on and then end up simply using another finger that's unprotected. Marry that with a false sense of security thinking I have a thimble, therefore I'm protected and the needle gets buried to the bone in the other digit.

Thimbles I have, but rarely use. <br />I used a rubber finger when I worked in an office. At home, I order them. The one left, I can see hanging on a pen in the pen holder. Yet, I didn't think to use it while sewing until reading your post. <br />Thank you!Salty Pumpkin Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10116105220109225010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-92053374900779081272020-06-22T10:07:08.871-04:002020-06-22T10:07:08.871-04:00What a difference.
