I found some at FD that worked really well but only for light duty. They are a stiff blue latex but the seam around the top seems to give way too soon. Otherwise I have used the leather with the coin but that doesn't always pay off as the needle seems to go around the coin. I actually combined several together for when I'm doing heavy quilting and though somewhat cumbersome my finger survives the experience. I have scar tissue and a callous where the eye end of the needle has gone through my finger so many times. I can't use the metal ones because they feel very foreign and I begin using another finger as well. I think finding a good thimble that works for each person's style is kind of like trying to find a new bra each time! :)
