I have never tried a silicon one, but the rubber one does make your finger sweat too, especially during summer days, and if you use thin sharp needles, you make holes quickly and prick your finger too. :-)Larisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407158690700410527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050612408176919296.post-8054641601433353602016-07-02T22:38:07.539-07:002016-07-02T22:38:07.539-07:00Thank you, Dina.

My Mum was taught to sew at school and it was compulsory to use a thimble whenever you did any type of hand stitching (sewing, quilting, embroidering). Mum tried encouraging me to use a thimble too, but I never could manage it with a metal thimble, it always felt uncomfortable. But now I find myself more and more using a thimble. So glad that ILarisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407158690700410527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050612408176919296.post-69512094691760944502016-07-02T01:10:05.168-07:002016-07-02T01:10:05.168-07:00I've been wanting to try the leather thimbles....I've been wanting to try the leather thimbles. Alas, I bought a gel and metal one first, and I just can't get over the feeling of waste. But the gel/silicon? makes my finger sweat, so....it is a waste anyway, eh?

I've always thought of these thimbles as being exclusively for hand quilting, but your comments have made me think again.Bossymammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17200638216907803818noreply@blogger.com
