I use Roxannes. rather than using betweens I use the applique length for quilting and applique, but both are good! ( I do a stab stitch quilting) Anyone used the Roxette thimbles?

Just did a quick search on these. Look interesting. I use a thimblelady thimble and am very happy with it. Stainless steel so not overly spendy. Nice deep dimples and love the fit.

Thanks, everyone, for all of your suggestions. I've used many different needles, but not all of the ones listed. I'm going to try some of your suggestions.

I have a great big brass Roxannes's thimble I use for my thumb, and I love it.

I like John James also. I can do the best with size 10. Wish I could use a smaller size, but too hard on my hand. Another brand I like is the S Thomas and Sons, but they are harder to find.
