Aunt Jenny	Posted - Oct 20 2008 : 2:42:50 PM I like the rubbery ones from the quilt shops best too..my favorite is green and tight.

jpbluesky	Posted - Oct 20 2008 : 1:48:30 PM Yes, that is why I like the yellow ugly plastic one! It is very tight and stays on. Farmgirl Sister # 31 www.blueskyjeannie.blogspot.com Psalm 51: 10-13
sunshine	Posted - Oct 20 2008 : 1:22:42 PM I have discovered the tighter the thimble the more control I have the loose thimbles drive me insane. You can tell in the photo my thimbles are real tight have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe Farmgirl Sister #115 my bloghttp://sunshinescreations.vintagethreads.com/ my web store vintage threadshttp://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=79144
jpbluesky	Posted - Oct 20 2008 : 1:13:53 PM I push my needle through with my middle finger. I finally found one thimble, old and ugly yellow plastic, that I can tolerate. 7 quilts in one month!!! I would need an iron glove to do that! Wow, Sunshine! Farmgirl Sister # 31 www.blueskyjeannie.blogspot.com Psalm 51: 10-13
dkelewae	Posted - Oct 20 2008 : 08:04:18 AM I admire all of you who are able to use a thimble. I've never been able to use one without feeling clumsy and awkward! Diana Farmgirl Sister #272 St. Peters MO Country Girl trapped in the city! http://farmgirldreams.blogspot.com/
BarefootGoatGirl	Posted - Oct 20 2008 : 07:47:21 AM i never liked thimbles until i found the silicone ones at the quilt store. they kind of mold around your finger so that it's not so culmsy and they come in fun colors.

Aunt Jenny	Posted - Oct 19 2008 : 10:04:11 PM I just use one..and like Jeannie said..clumsy me..I hate it..but I get a hole in my thumb when I don't. I just wear it on my thumb for the pushing the needle part..those little needles are sharp going in backwards too!!!! My grandma used to always use 2 or 3 and her fingers sure looked nicer than mine after I have being quilting!!

sunshine	Posted - Oct 19 2008 : 5:56:50 PM It makes it so I can quilt easily in any direction at any time. i have never seen any one quilt the way i do. It came about the month I had to quilt 7 quilts by hand in one month for my now deceased grandmother in law ( this was about 11 years ago done it this way ever since). As fingers got sore I added a thimble to protect it after a while I was faster quilting with more than less as I never get poked and i as stated earlier can quilt in any direction instantly. have a lovely day and may God bless you and keep you safe Farmgirl Sister #115 my bloghttp://sunshinescreations.vintagethreads.com/ my web store vintage threadshttp://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=79144
jpbluesky	Posted - Oct 19 2008 : 5:53:56 PM How can you do that? Even one thimble makes me feel totally clumsy. I use one only when I begin to have bleeding and sore fingertips. Farmgirl Sister # 31 www.blueskyjeannie.blogspot.com Psalm 51: 10-13
