Colorbok 60229 Thimble-It Finger Pads, 64 Per Package

These are great protection worn under a thin or well-used leather thimble. You can peel it off, stick a corner of it to a piece of plastic & reuse it later. I get about 4-5 uses out of each. I'm a free-hand hand-quilter (I don't use a frame) & use the side of my 2nd finger to push the needle through. These are just big enough to fit diagonally across the side of the joint & strong enough to protect me if/when the needle pierces the leather.

I used these years ago when I was constantly sewing. I remember them being firm for protection, but now I’m using them again and they are really stiff.I’m doing cross stitching and embroidery. I’d like to protect my fingers without the bulk of a thimbleI cut them in half (across the shorter center), which helps, but the edges stick up and catch on the threads I’m using.Then I tried a single hole punch!! That gives me a little circle which is awfully good. I am careful since the needle can slip with too much pressure, but overall it’s been working.I can punch several dots out of one Thimble-it, punching with the paper backing attached. I put the punched dots in a small container and the backing paper stays attached until I peel it off. Very convenient!The adhesive is strong, I can reuse my dots. Since I use a magnifying light, I put my used dots on the plastic frame edge and they stay until I need them again.Sometimes I forget to take them off and forget I’m wearing them. The smaller circle size is great for me.I have considered looking for a hole punch that’s a little bigger than standard 3-ring binder paper hole size.

Used them as finger Grips so that I could still use my phone in full cosplay. They worked great. I didn't use nail glue to lock them in place but they were super sticky on their own.

I bought these for hand-sewing; I push the needle with my thumb and have punctured my thumb too many times. I need to be able to use my thumb to pull the needle thru the fabric also, so a rigid thimble is not an option. I have used these a few times over the last two weeks. These sticky pads are a little slicker than I expected, but with practice they work alright. My biggest issue is that they stick too well - removing them takes a layer of skin with them! My thumb is left feeling a bit tender (though thankfully not full of holes). I can reuse a pad 2-3 times. I'm going to try the leather dot style also to see which I prefer.

I had these somewhere with my knitting, but couldn't find them. Thus ordered more! They really help stop my index fingers from a pointy needle. They are a must.I tried a bandage, but too bulky. These do the job. I can tell where to put them by the point marks on my hands.

I sometimes need to sew patches (name, dept.) onto uniforms. After doing a few; I used to end up with needle holes in the ends of my fingers from pushing the needles through the thick patches. It seems the needle would quickly go to the same spot over and over. I decided to try these to eliminate my fingers bleeding on the uniforms. I usually put one on my thumb and my middle finger tips. The adhesive is very strong, but they may be re-positioned (I wouldn't want to do it more than 2-3 times though). I think this next time I will start out without them and the first few times I push the needle through the tough spots I will see exactly where to place them. My only regret is I wish they were just a little more pliable; sometimes they stick straight out over the end of my finger tip; or maybe in an egg shape so I could put the thicker end towards the top of my finger. But if you have bigger fingertips than most thimbles take; these will be a big help.

I push my knitting needles with my fingers and these protect them well. Only thing I would change is the glue. I would like to be able to reuse at least once but one stick is all you get.

They stick well and can be reused several times. However, they are completely smooth and offer no grip whatsoever for the needle. The needle just slides off. I have the stars because they stick well and are reusable, but they are useless other than that.
