I hate thimbles
#71
I have my grandmothers old thimble and love it. It is small and has very deep indentations so it works great. I would be sick if I lost it.

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

I like the clover thimbles that are open for your nails,they can be adjusted to fit and I have worn a hole in one I used to so long. I also treated myself to a Roxanne fitted thimble. Love them both.
Fingers don't sweat in the open sided ones and they do protect your nails.

Leather thimbles are the only ones that fit my stubby fingers. (Thanks dad!) I have always secretly coveted those long tapering fingers I see around me. You can do the hot water trick on them, to make them fit you better.
