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've seen something like this somewhere -- not sure if it was in a
catalogue or online. I never look closely because it's still a thimble
and they don't fit over my nails. I have a bunch of the little pads and
would be happy to share with you so you could give them a try and see if
they would be worth your money :-). I only use them when doing
backstitching on my needlework or sewing on my quilt labels so they last
me a long time. CiaoMeow ^;;^
