I have used finger cots for years. I use one on my thimble finger to keep the thimble from slipping off - my fingers are so small, that the smallest thimble is still too big. I even use masking tape to tape it on sometimes.
I also use the cot on my index finger to help pull the thread through the quilt - no blisters, and the thread doesn't slip.
And You can use them on your fingers when you FMQ if you can't find you FMQ gloves.

Does anyone else use latex finger cots? What is your preference
