You have to order one to find that the price is $25. I HATE SITES THAT DO THAT!!! And I hate paying so much money for a piece of rubber that probably cost 8 cents to manufacture. (or 8K for a sewing machine, for that matter!) :shock:

I had to do the same thing and it put me off to have to pretend like I wanted to buy it in order to locate a price. I love to buy thimbles because I always hope the next one will be the ONE!

$25 for this one was more than was comfortable for me.

911kitchen OFFLINE Posts: 391	:shock: If I bought one of these I might be able to put a little less blood and tears into my quilts. The tears I don't mind but the blood leaves stains at times. My self blood letting during my applique sessions could stop and I may just start enjoy the process. Rachel

gloucestershirelady OFFLINE Posts: 228	I have got a couple in different sizes - I have also got every thimble known to man - all the metal ones either fall off or are too tight! I have probably got enough equipment to open a shop, I have also got frames in various types and every type of needle going!

gloucestershirelady OFFLINE Posts: 228	I have found a site that does a thimble made of rubber - I have just received one and am very pleased with it. It does seem to make hand sewing faster; I would recommend it - it is comfortable to wear and there is no slipping of the needle, neither does it fall off your finger because it is slightly grippy. The website is: http://www.customthimbles.com/
