I have some clover products but you may be thinking of southern Japan. It is really difficult to get things threw the mail and a lot of places here do not have very much. Not all of the stores here even have thimbles, batting is a nightmare to find and ordering threw mail system I have found to take about 2-3 months. I have finally found a store that sells batting and cloth but the thimbles are really limited to one type. Is there something else I can do other then a leather thimble that is not going to kill my fingers?
