I'm pleased to report that I have finished well more than 400" of binding
with nary a need for a pint of blood or sympathy card. The heavy first-aid
tape worked fairly well. It seems as if I've seen some talk about flexible
thimbles made of that stuff like the newest (if not greatest) cake and
muffin pan composition. Anyone had success with these? Polly

I keep my leather "sticky pad" on the (plastic) part of my thread
scissors - just above where the blades are. Works great & they last a long
time.

Have you never tried the little sticky back pads made specifically for
this purpose? I have acrylic nails and can't use a thimble either but
the little sticky pads work a treat!! Nice round suede ones are
available but they are a tad $$$ (compared to the plastic ones) so I
often use the heavy clear plastic oval ones instead. :-). AND when
you take the little pad off, you can use it over again several times if
you are careful and stick it back on the paper it came with. That makes
it even better and REALLY worth the $$$ spent --
frugal is GOOD LOLOL! CiaoMeow ^;;^
