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.

I have been searching for linen to pair with my Liberty collection for years and finally took a chance on Mel’s French Grey Japanese Linen and LOVE it! Searching for time now to get started on hand stitching.
