A Handy Tool

My mother gave me this for Christmas, and I just gave it a try for the first time. It’s a great alternative to a regular metal thimble. When I hand sew I like to have as much dexterity as possible, and this product is just a small metal disc with an adhesive pad on the inside. No more sweaty hands! Another advantage is that, unlike a traditional thimble, this fits on just about any finger, and there are extra pads in the package. My mother found this in a fabric store, but if you google “ultrathimble” several sources will come up.
It’s so comfortable that I left it stuck to my finger when I wrote this post!
