These are a perfect alternative to a traditional thimble - if you're done with your thimble slipping off at the worst possible moment and feel like your finger needs to breathe.
The small heart-shaped pads stick directly to your fingertip with a strong 3M adhesive backing and stay there for the whole sewing session and then some.
No thimble to hunt for. No sweaty finger. Just a layer of protection exactly where you need it.
The heart shape is doing more work than you'd think. It's cute, yes - but it's also functional. The two lobes of the heart allow the pad to flex naturally when applied to the side of a finger, conforming to the curve without bunching. And that downward point at the bottom? Perfect for getting a fingernail underneath when you want to peel it off cleanly after use.
Fabulous for any kind of repetitive sewing where you need to get through some layers.
I tried them out while hand quilting with 12wt thread - wonderful. I usually wear a hole in my leather thimble whilst quilting, so that won't be happening anymore.
Each pad is die-cut and ready to use. Peel from the backing sheet and apply to a clean, dry finger. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Packaged in the same compact sliding-lid tin as the remainder of the fabulous SOHMO Haberdashery range.

Loving the fabrics for this quilt and cannot wait to finish off far too many other projects, and get started! I know I will enjoy, not only the hand stitching, but gorgeous calming colours of the finished quilt.

My very first time using liberty lawn , is so pretty and the fabrics so soft . Think I’ll do Alice’s country diary , that way I’ll have enough to keep me busy till the next set of fabrics and I’m sure all the fabrics will look beautiful together . Need to get back to the shop to choose my linen background .

Thank you for your prompt response to my orders of Liberty Tana lawn. The fabrics were exactly what I had envisioned. I will be ordering more once I get further along with the ‘Paintbox’ quilt.
