TOPIC: Roxanne Thimbles ?

31 Jan 2010 04:17 #43028

The Cotton Patch isn't a million miles from me - about sixty or so - it would be worth while going to have a look. Thanks for that - I'll phone first to make sure they have some - have never been to The Cotton Patch, I believe it is good!

The Cotton Patch sells Roxanne Thimbles and I think they will exchange if you order the wrong size.

I'm in the US and tried to contact them directly about the TJ Lane thimbles and haven't had any luck in getting a response. I started thinking that maybe they don't sell directly to consumers.

I ended up buying a really, really old but in perfect condition thimble from a gentleman in the UK. He was wonderful to work with and helped me with figuring out what size to get, which thimble would be best for quilting, and educated me on how many of the thimbles are made.

The thimble I ended up getting is called a Dorcas thimble and is the best thimble I have ever had. Even with the shipping it was less than some of the local thimbles available.

The TJLane thimbles are open sided as well aren't they? I haven't done any searching around for those - I'll be at the NEC in August - it is so huge it would be easy to miss thimbles though!

Hi Jacky, I'm having similar problems with the TJ Lane thimbles. They're not sold here and though I have contacted a sales team it all seems to have fizzled out. I don't think they think I'm a serious purchaser!! Very frustrating.

Does anyone know if there is anything decent on any of the stalls at the NEC show?

Roxanne Thimbles ? 30 Jan 2010 14:19 #43014

Hi everyone - I have been reading a lot about the Roxanne thimble, the one with the open back. It is along the lines of the Clover open sided thimble - the reviews on the Roxanne one are very good, but does anybody know whether the Roxanne is available in the UK? I could order online from the US, but I am wondering if it would be difficult to get the sizing right, especially as I would need to find a US ring sizer to start with! Thanks, Jacky
