I use some old jelly thimbles that I bought years ago when I was showing some kids how to quilt.
I've seen a couple of types of Japanese thimbles. One has a little paddle tab that sticks out from a ring. Another one I've seen is a ring style, with dimples in the band. Try Googling it to see what comes up.
