Hadn't thought of using batting to pad the inside of my thimbles. Have to do that. I have wrapped a bandaid around my finger and the put the thimble on and that works well. Thimbles and I are just not friends and I really do need to learn to use one as my fingers are a mess from quilting. Those little pads have been recommended by ladies in my quilting chapter as well but since I don't do quilt stores, I've not bought any yet. I do have a cataloge with them in and should just order some. Thank you.
