I have ordered this one also and am anxiously waiting for it. I like the idea that the finger can't bend with this thimble on and I like the way the Thimblelady quilts. Very easy on arthritic hands (or it looks like it is) That is my quest - to keep my hands and fingers from hurting so much so I can quilt more! I am so new at quilting by hand, but I already know I'm going to have to be careful about how I use my hands.
