thank you all so much.
I have the largest collection of contemporary thimbles :oops: :oops: and not one of them works for my underneath finger as I need the sensation (not the pain!) of the needle. For the sewing hand I ended up with roxannes for the finger and the ted storm for the thumb and that works great.
Because of my job (chiropodist) I have to have short fingernails so that is not an option either and in the video I could not figure out where the needle was.
I will go trough all the glue I have in the house
