I couldn't figure for a while what you were all talking about. Then it dawned on me, I have one of those, bought at a quilt show. I hate the darn thing. I can't get the hang of it, I use my fingers on the bottom, they are never sore. its the top finger that gets all the hurt. I can't find a thimble I really like or can wear. I am new to hand quilting, am not fancy basic stitches is all. I do the rocking quilting tho and as I said its the top fingers that get all the flack. I have a pretty good collection of thimbles and none of them work, have tried leather, metal plastic, you name it I have tried it. No haven't bought the real expensive ones, that I can't make myself do. Can't fit the cheapies, and to pay that much for one that won't fit and I won't use, well that knocks me out of my chair. I am glad to see that there are you out there that did buy them and can't use them like me. Oh did I say that outloud. Thanks I feel better.
