Colorbok 60229 Thimble-It Finger Pads, 64 Per Package

I've been hand quilting for over 20 years and don't remember when I wasn't using Thimble-its. I cut them in half and place the cut edge along my fingernail of my underside hand. It sure saves my finger! The adhesion is quite strong and will stay put for hours of sewing. The only problem I've had is if it is especially hot and humid and my finger is sweaty, it won't stay very well, but I don't believe it's the product's fault at that point. I recommend these to all my friends.

I have used these in the past. They are great for the under finger in quilting. I can use the same one for several times, before the adhesion no longer works.

I did not care for this product. That being said, it may be something that would work for you. I found the surface slippery and my needle slipped several times off of it. And i ferl the plastic it is made from is a little too rigid. And it would not conform to the shape of my fingers. Got in the way when stitching because it stuck up. So did not work for me.

These are made of a stiff plastic that does not mold to your finger. The thread is constantly getting caught and pulls the pad off your finger. They are not super sticky, come off all the time and they are slippery.

These are great protection worn under a thin or well-used leather thimble. You can peel it off, stick a corner of it to a piece of plastic & reuse it later. I get about 4-5 uses out of each. I'm a free-hand hand-quilter (I don't use a frame) & use the side of my 2nd finger to push the needle through. These are just big enough to fit diagonally across the side of the joint & strong enough to protect me if/when the needle pierces the leather.

I used these years ago when I was constantly sewing. I remember them being firm for protection, but now I’m using them again and they are really stiff. I’m doing cross stitching and embroidery. I’d like to protect my fingers without the bulk of a thimble I cut them in half (across the shorter center), which helps, but the edges stick up and catch on the threads I’m using. Then I tried a single hole punch!! That gives me a little circle which is awfully good. I am careful since the needle can slip with too much pressure, but overall it’s been working. I can punch several dots out of one Thimble-it, punching with the paper backing attached. I put the punched dots in a small container and the backing paper stays attached until I peel it off. Very convenient! The adhesive is strong, I can reuse my dots. Since I use a magnifying light, I put my used dots on the plastic frame edge and they stay until I need them again. Sometimes I forget to take them off and forget I’m wearing them. The smaller circle size is great for me. I have considered looking for a hole punch that’s a little bigger than standard 3-ring binder paper hole size.

After stabbing myself in the finger too many times with my tiny crochet hook, I tried using a regular thimble but my brain registered it as if I was wearing a bandaid and instinctively kept it out of the way which made it difficult to work. These worked a lot better, it still took some getting used to, but I was able to settle in to a routine. They're a bit stiff as I saw someone else mention, but they're thick enough to protect my poor finger.. the adhesive is top notch, it stayed on very well and didn't come off until I was ready to take it off.

I'm allergic to the adhesive. Sucks to be me. I've got 'em, can't use 'em. <sigh>
