Just want to let all hand quilters know that if they would like to have an actual thimble for the "under" hand while hand quilting, I came across a man on Etsy that custome made one for me. I call it my "Under-handed thimble". It is shaped much like a mushroom and works great. No more pricked fingers, no more callouses, no more blood spots on the quilted project (speaking from experience). I enjoy hand quilting, but didn't like the problems I had with sore fingers. Now I can't get enough of hand-quilting.
I don't know that much about navigating the Etsy sight, but I found that by searching for "silver thimbles" you will find him as seller "Rio Fire". Then pick the item you find, go to its page and to the right hand side of the item's page is a "contact" button. You can get the info from him on how to measure, etc. I get nothing out of this - NAYY - just a happy customer. I told him I would spread the word as much as possible since I am so please with mine.
Happy stitching, everyone, Marlys in Indiana
