If you're even slightly interested in her thimbles, take a look at the plastic ones and/or the stainless steel ones. I started with the plastic (at @ $15) to see if a) sizing was correct; and b) did I like the process of using the pad of my finger (yes!). Since the answer to both was yes, after I wore out the plastic one, I purchased a stainless steel one (@ $35). And I actually wore out one of those as well and replaced it. A bit pricier than the typical ones found at JoAnns or other big box places, but it fits correctly and (for me) works well. I could never justify one of the sterling silver of either Thimblelady or Roxanne but the s/s version is quite nice.
