I can't be the only one who hates thimbles. They are big, bulky and don't fit my fingers.

Any suggestions for a really good finger tip cover that fits well, protects my finger when hand sewing the bindings on quilts?

Thanks.

I hate them, too. Just never could get comfortable with one.

.I did, but over the years have got used to a very old silver one that is a delight to use. Until then, I used a leather thimble.

I hand sew with a leather thimble. I like it.

My finger gets sweaty in a metal one.

I don't like them either. I can never find a comfortable one. I usually push the needle with the finger beside the thimble.

I use Clear (Circle) Spots bandaids.

I learned to sew 30 years ago and have never been able to use one. If I try to wear one I end up pushing the needle with another finger.

I don't like them either. When I was doing a lot of Cross stitch, I would wear a bandaid on that finger cause I hated a thimble on it!

I prefer the leather quilter's thimble... Down side is that the leather wears through where the needle hits... :(

I wrap my fingers with adhesive tape
