Leather Thimble Finger Protector - losharher Needlework Finger Cover for Hand Knitting Sewing Quilting Craft Accessories 2 Sizes 2 Pieces Thimbles with Metal Case DIY Tools (S)

I quilt by pushing the needle with my thumb and I have tried so many different thimbles! Up to now the only one that worked was the Dritz leather which I'd modify a bit to fit, but they are a little stiff and don't last real long. This big piece of leather (size M) fits beautifully on my thumb and is easy for me to push with, and so far seems beefy enough. Time will only tell if it lasts better than the Dritz. It does leave little bits of suede behind but they brush off... that seems to be lessening as I use it more. It is a bit over-packaged with the tin. And I haven't tried the smaller cylindrical one in the set. Update 5.10.23 -- now I've used this for the better part of a king sized quilt and it's still going strong. It is flexible yet very sturdy at stopping the needle from stabbing me. I really love it.

This item fits my finger perfectly

High quality: neat stitching, lovely color. Will last quite a number of years from frequent wear and use. Love color of blue.

This runs super big! Cant order another as they are always sold out of medium

The ring style is well made, but runs extremely large. I got the small, I'm a 5'7" woman and have slender hands (Picture 1). It goes all the way down my middle finger. I tried it on my boyfriend and it still does not fit him correctly on his middle finger (Picture 2). The materials are decent, so I am going to try and modify it.The other style fits, but is still very clumsy and a little large on my finger (Picture 3). Again, I am going to modify it in the future.Product does come in a nice reuseable tin!

This is a nice set of thimbles. I use them for quilting to protect my fingers. I got the large size and they fit well. I would recommence these for anyone who does a lot of sewing. The long leather one keeps the needle from rubbing my middle finger and the smaller one is good for pushing the needle through layers of material.

The ring for my finger is my favorite part of this set. It prevents irritation from repeated contacts with the needle eye. Highly recommend.

I am pinning my quilt tops and backing on a long-arm quilt machine. I previously was using a snap on system but some days were too hard on my hands. This thimble is perfect for the long sharp pins needed to pin to the leaders. I have plenty of thimbles for use but I wanted to see if this would help with the pinning.
