When I was a child my grandmother told me I could never really be a seamstress if I did not learn to use a thimble. It was so hard for me to get used to the thimble, but I kept working at it, for part of each sewing session. When I became a quilter, I was so thankful for her encouragement, and it is still her thimble that I use most.
