Thread: Do you have Roxanne Thimble--Like--Dislike?????

I jsut bought a Roxanne thimble & started using it this eve. At first I thought this is a joke. It doesn't seem to fit my finger well. You see I have a very lg knot on the first knuckle from holding a pencil while writing & it has been there since I was little.
Any way, I thought this isn't going to work. I started thinking about a few other things going on right now in my life & before I knew it , I hardly knew it was there. At first I thought , well, I have just spent $50 for nothing.
However the more I wore it, the more compforable it became. By golly I think I am going to like it.
Just wanted to see what others thought of the thimble.
Thanks for looking, Donna,The Rustic Quilter

I use the ThimbleLady stainless steel thimble. Similar to the Roxanne in that it is open-ended and you use the pad of your finger. The opening is larger and the thimble itself is a little longer. They are about $35 each for the s/s. First I tried their plastic one (at @ $10) to see if I would like the style/fit. Both were great so then upgraded to the stainless steel. I will say, the first one I eventually poked a hole through one of the dimples..guess I use the same one(s) over & over.

There is also a Roxette thimble, in 4 or 5 pretty colors. I've seen them for $14.99 to $19.99.

I've had one for at least 20 years. I don't hand quilt but have used it for doing hand work on bindings etc. I really like it but often find myself moving it from my ring finger to my middle finger and back again.
