I've begun a rather large hand quilting project and find my index finger gets sore quickly from pulling the needle through the quilt. I'm not using a thimble yet to push the needle as I haven't found one that fits right. However, at guild meeting yesterday a friend recommended Finger Cots....little latex things that roll down over your finger and wow, do they ever help get a grip on the needle!! Found them at Walgreen's in the bandaid/bandage department but they're probably available at any drug store.

Did not know these were for sale. Finger condoms/bandages/whatever. Oh the jokes that will be made with these!

Thanks for the tip I will have to get them.

Oh yes....my husband was rolling on the floor laughing when he saw them!

I buy a box of vinyl exam gloves and cut off the fingertips. I, too, do not use a thimble and find these very helpful with the grip on the needle.

Great idea, I can't use a thimble, maybe these will help

Finger condoms! I love it! I think I'll go into the drugstore and ask for them that way.

Everyone MUST practice safe sewing!

Oh my....all of these comments are hilarious! Thanks for this superb tip.

Just repackage these for a gift to a friend who you want to send a gag gift to. For someone with a little problem. I've got to get some of these just to give away!
