What kind of thimble do you use on top. A regular thimble drives me crazy.
The one with the dimples goes on top to help control the needle and the smooth one goes on the bottom so the needle glances off it.
What's the name of the thimble--brand name, etc. and where did you get it.

I know that ConnectingThreads sells the ultra thimble (top one) I forgot where I got the under thimble but the above site has both.

DH said he thought he saw the ultra thimble when he got my under thimble. Unfortunately we're not in that state at this time. Will keep looking for it as we travel.
Thanks for the tip. Looked at the web site and know what I'm looking for.

HAPPY QUILTING

The thimble with the raised edge is WONDERFUL! Your needle doesn't slip off the end of the thimble, but catches on the 'lip'.
