Hmmmmm....Linda, it looks like the links to that company no longer work.

I have this e-mail address, but haven't checked to see if it still works: mailto:pqfthimbles@sbcglobal.net

Does anyone have a phone number for them?

I'm looking to purchase another PQF Thimble. I have used one for years and it's the best thimble for me. I can't seem to locate where on line to purchase them. Any ideas?

I got introduced to using a thimble at 17 - not desparately young (although perhaps it seems so now) with the instructions you will learn to use them (one for each hand) but it was when I went to the RSN, and you cannot survive a full working week sewing by hand without some protection, part of it is an attitude of mind, the other part is having the right size/shape (fingers are not round) sometimes squishing the metal thimbles out of round makes them more comfortable and they sit on the finger better.

I also got fed up going home every night with rust rings around my fingers, until I worked out to paint the insides with nail varnish

They do look interesting - I would like to try one sometime - perhaps they will come to the K&S show in November here. I cant use any of the other kinds of thimbles because I never learned when I was young. But I do use a leather one all the time and I find the flexibility of it to be great. It also doesn't slip off my finger.

Well, DUH!! Thanks for pointing that out Nancy! I usually check dates when new topics come up, but it just so happened that a lady in a class I was teaching this morning at my LQS was asking about my thimble, and when I saw this new topic I just had a senior moment!

I am just making my own from fabric paper & silk, they work beautifully and I am taking names from others who are interested - once I work out how to organise sizes I will be following them up

The original post was from 2008, so maybe they realized that they had left the price off and added it in. Just guessing...

I'll have to have a look at these thimbles. I don't generally use a thimble because I find them very awkward, but am always looking for something since my finger can get pretty ripped up.

Hmmmm....I see the price right on the front page:



I have one and really like it.

I have several of these in various sizes, in the winter my fingers are smaller, my yo-yo dieting doesn't help. I LOVE these, and think you get what you pay for. Their customer service is amazing - replacements with no problem. I have long nails, and these accommodate my nails perfectly, and don't fall off! I really can't live without these.

They aren't cheap are they? but have a life time guarantee as long as I don't lose it/dog eats it or whatever!
