4 Pack Sewing Thimble Finger Protector, Adjustable Finger Metal Shield Protector Pin Needles Sewing Quilting Craft Accessories DIY Sewing Tools Needlework(2 Sizes)

These really help for quilting. They are adjustable so they fit all sizes and don't fall off. They also have a lip like a fingernail to catch the needle for better accuracy.

I use these as thimbles and also for pushing my wire weave tighter which has saved my fingernails. They don't get in the way or fall off like regular thimbles and are comfortable with a small bandaid underneath to cushion it when using.

Easy to adjust to finger or thumb.

Adjustable, great fit. Perfect for sewing. I like that I can squeeze them together make them smaller to fit my fingers. Due to squeezing them to make them smaller to fit my fingers. The metal might not last long time, but I’m happy with them.

Didn’t really care for these.

I certainly had reservations about ordering these thimbles. If they had not been so inexpensive, I'm not sure I would have even tried this style. I have been sewing for more than 60 years, and that's about how long I've been looking for even an acceptable thimble. The traditional ones simply have never worked for me. They are uncomfortable, awkward, and ineffective. I thought I had tried just about every kind of thimble available, and never found one I thought was great. The one that came closest to working well was the thimble that is a metal disk, with dimples on it, and with little round sticky pads that allow you to stick the thimble on the end of your finger. I've used those for years but have not been totally satisfied with them because the sticky pads have to be replaced so frequently, and they still allow the thimble to slip around on my finger. I finally decided to research thimbles one more time. This thimble that I purchased on Amazon, the one that is open on one side, is a design I have often seen but have dismissed without even trying. I do not have long nails, and I really thought this thimble would not fit well and would not stay in place well. However, out of desperation, I decided to try the ones on this site. I read reviews in which customers complain that the thimble is hard to adjust, requiring needle nose pliers. I have not found that to be true. The ones I received were very easy to adjust, but not so easy that I have to worry about the shape not holding during use. I was concerned that the fit would not be comfortable, because I have a writer's bump on my thimble finger, and on the other side of that same finger, I have a cist that is about the same size as the writer's bump. I was sure that the thimble would not fit, or that even if it did, it would hit right at those bumps, be uncomfortable, and not stay on my finger during use. I have experienced none of these problems. The thimble stays on while I'm sewing, it fits comfortably, and it is not at all awkward to use, as I had feared. I think I have finally found the thimble that is perfect for me. No more nasty sticky pads to deal with, and no more thimble slipping around or falling off my finger during use. I'm glad Amazon sold this package with two small and two medium thimbles. I would have guessed that I would need a medium, but that is not the case. The small is the perfect fit for my hand. It's nice to have two, in case I misplace one. I hope this review helps someone else who has been searching for a comfortable and effective thimble.

Handy when sewing

I like that they can be altered in size to fit more than one finger, as I may use them on different fingers depending on my project. One star subtracted for the sharp edges, which I smoothed with a file.
