I got through 4 before I pricked my finger pushing the needle through the fabric. I was wondering if any of you use thimbles? I can't get used to using one or they just don't fit my finger right. I have a leather one with a metal disk but it doesn't seem to be in the right spot. I use a small piece of white medical tape over the end of my middle finger, the one I use to push the needle with. I am using a quilting between size needle, maybe I should be using a longer one.

Hi Birdie, I just love your winter-flowers! But what is a "thrift sale"...? I'm Dutch and sometimes I don't understand some of the used words..... ;))
And I do use a thimble. It's a metal thimble from Clover. It works fine for me.
Enjoy your sewing!
I love your beautiful winter flowers. Well, they remind me of the summer and the blue ocean ;-).
Thimble ... I can't sew without one, but I also started sewing without.
i loooove your blue flowers.
yes, i sew with a thimble, couldn't do without. maybe you should visit a good store and try some thimbles on until you find the perfect fit.
Love your flowers and yes I always use a timble, I have several LOL.
your blue flowers are just gorgeous.
Love the blue ones. I can't work with a thimble either. Have tried it lots of times, but it doesn't work for me.
Great fabrics you used for the flowers. Blue stays my favorite color.
i really love the tulip fabric.......
wonderful flowers
Cold weather flowers for sure! I can't work with a thimble on my needle pushing finger either. I just use a little square of painters (green) tape to cover the tip of my finger. It works great.
great hexagons love your winter garden
Blue is one of my favorite colors...those are so pretty!! Btw, I haven't found a thimble that feels comfortable either so I don't use one. I'm usually able to adjust my sewing so that I don't stick myself. Occasionally tho, depending on the fabric I have to use one and struggle my way through! Sorry....no help.
