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 love the pattern and can not wait to start sewing. As the grey linen is out of stock could you suggest another colour preferably in blue tones. Also what the cost of 1.7 metres would be? Thank you , look forward to your answer. Vaurian.
I love the pairing of the soft and delicate pinks alongside dusky and brighter pinks. This divine Betsy works so well alongside a rainbow of colours and other pattern choices. I will continue to buy from Mel, as she always packages the fabric beautifully - it arrives here in NZ in perfect condition. Thank you!
