Thank you so much, Mary, but I have a pack of the thimble pads. I've
ordered the silicon thimble, maybe that will be the one for me. Hey, it was
cheaper than ordering a Bernina 730E and I looked at them too. Polly

"Tia Mary" wrote 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 ^;;^
