I use a leather thimble as the metal ones just fall off my finger (I've got small fingers I guess) and the leather one has a little bit of elastic in it to grip my finger better.. although there are times it will still slip a bit..

youme, thank you for showing how you hand sew. I really think I will try that..it looks a lot more like what I would like to do. I make myself use the end section of my finger (because I keep telling myself that it is the "correct" way to hand sew)...but..I tend to want to use the same section of my finger that you do to put pressure on the needle to push it through. Huh...now I find out...like everything else...there IS no "correct" way..! This is really exciting and I'm going to have to get one of the ring thimbles!!

Youme
I am with most of the other gals here...... I don't like using a thimble it gets in the way when I try to pull the thread through the quilt.
I am going to look for one of your thimbles..... and give it a try.
Thanks for sharing...... we can all learn from each other.
