Clover I Sew for Fun Flexible Set Thimble, purple and blue 2

I made an entire embroidery project without these and was in pain for weeks, so I bought this set for my next project and it was a game changer. They grip the needle perfectly so there’s so much less pressure on your hands and they make it easy to push and pull the needle through your fabric with ease. I didn’t have any problems with them fitting, they are nice and stretchy but still snug. If you do any sort of hand embroidery or sewing these are worth the price to save your fingertips.

Second purchase as I wore out the first ones. Good to keep fingers from getting sore when pushing or pulling needles, not thick enough to use as a thimble.

Once I received these, I realized they looked too small for my fingers, bet they actually stretch very well! They fit my larger hands! They are both flexible rubber and bonus: I can still operate my smartphone screen with them on!

These thimbles are very thin and flexible, and I love that because it is what I needed it. I have others that are so stiff even silicone ones and I need to be able to move my hands when I am sewing. The only issue I came across is that the small purple one is too small, and the blue one is too big. LOL other than that they are ok. I do believe they are overpriced for the quality, the holes if you pull hard enough will rip the silicone and you'll be done in one use. I do take care of them and I like them, but I believe is too expensive for a tiny thin silicone piece.

They are very nicely made but too small for my hands. As a gauge, my ring finger is size 9, even though that is not the finger it’s put on.

These are great for gripping the needle to PULL the needle through thick material or PULL through tight openings. The silicone material creates wonderful tack to hold onto sleek needles that are difficult to pull. I do not recommend use of these as you would a metal thimble by PUSHing the eye end of a needle through the fabric. You will invariably penetrate these flexible thimble’s silicone, and your skin too~ouch! I use these everyday for counted cross stitch. I have stage III basal joint arthritis so these help me tremendously with my lost grip strength. If you are careful to only use these to pull needles, they will last surprisingly long with heavy usage. I see that some other reviews complain about the sizing-I don’t find that to be true in my case. They carry at least 3 different sizes that I’m aware of. I agree that they are a bit on the pricy side, however personally I feel it is worth it to save time stitching, plus the added grip strength makes them completely worth the price.

These aren't thimbles for pushing needles or protecting fingers. They are pullers. There's one for the thumb and one for the first finger, and the silicone material allows grabbing a needle securely without a lot of pressure on arthritic hands. At first I thought they looked too small for my middle-sized fingers, but they are designed with holes that allow them to stretch a lot while still remaining comfortable. My fingers get a little sweaty, but the holes help with that as well. They are thin, which means that my fingers can still "feel" the needle--they don't feel clunky and clumsy, like thicker versions. I've already ordered another pair so I can have one in my travel kit and my home sewing box without having to switch back and forth.

I hand quilt, and these flexible thimbles are the best thing I’ve bought in a long time!! They saved my fingers, and helped me get the pictured quilt done much quicker than without them. They are much more comfortable than hard thimbles. You cannot push the needle through with these, because the back of some needles are sharp and might go through these, but you can easily grip the needle with these to pull it through.

Doet wat het moet doen

Convient très bien pour tirer l’aiguille

I bought these to use while embroidering specifically for those times when the needle is going through an area with lots of floss on it and pulling the needle out the back is challenging. These make it so much easier. They are easy to put on and take off, and comfortable to wear. Highly recommended!

Útiles y prácticos para lo que los compré (usar el hilo dental sin cortarme)

Using this for knitting with lace needles- saved my fingers from getting hurt from the pointy edges.
