I'm in my 50s and have been sewing since i was four years old.
I use a tailor's thimble for everything but hand quilting. For hand quilting, I use a Thimble Lady cone finger thimble and the Thimble Lady thumb thimble.
I use the cone Thimble Lady one as well and love it. How is the thumb one? Do you also quilt away from yourself or do you use the thumb one for a different purpose?
