My Favorite Thimble
My Favorite ThimbleMy Favorite Thimble is a metal thimble with a unique rubber coating that lightly grips the needle so that it doesn't jump out of the thimble's dimples. Another exclusive feature that quilters love is the oval design. Oval fits better because that’s the shape of your finger. Twist My Favorite Thimble slightly on your finger to loosen or tighten as needed. If you need a half size, My Favorite Thimble is the one to try.  Novice quilters find that they no longer have to struggle to gain control of the needle. Experienced quilters can get more stitches to the inch almost immediately.

Order the Extra Large My Favorite Thimble for $6.00

How to Size:  If you currently use a metal thimble that fits fairly well, measure the diameter of the opening with a metric ruler and compare it to My Favorite Thimble's nominal diameters. Petite is a size 3 or 14mm, small is a size 6 or 15mm, medium is a size 8 or 16mm, large is a size 10 or 17mm and x-large is a size 12 or 18mm in diameter.

Tip: This thimble is covered in a rubberized coating. The end of the thimble quickly becomes shredded from pushing the needle into the cloth in just normal use. To extend the life of the thimble, use a craft knife to cut away the rubber coating on the entire end of the thimble. That will leave the coating on the sides, which does a great job of helping grasp the needle to pull it thru the item being sewed.
