I got a package of finger cots in the office supply section of WalMart. It had many different sizes in it. I found that I can't wear gloves to quilt--too hot. I also have trouble keeping the thimble on my finger and found if you wet your finger it will stay on for a long time. I find that a thimble is hard to get used to, but I have a spot on my middle finger that the needle hits every stitch. Starts to really hurt about 1/4 of the way around a quilt.
