Does anyone have a link to a Roxanne thimble?
Here's one:
http://www.cottonpatch.co.uk/acatalog/Roxanne_Thimble.html
That is a good thought about the T.Lady's thimble. The new ones are
only bands around the finger. Not much good for general needlework.
OTOH I do have heirloom silver thimbles to do the mundane stuff, I
suppose.
I have been quilting for about five years, on and off (mostly off) and
my technique is evolving, so a new methos is still possible I think.
How much does the Roxannne weigh? They DO look very heavy.
BTW I only have long nails when I stick them on. Bad case of the
nibbles I'm afraid. So I don't absolutely need an open ended thimble.
Anyone know of a good source of ordinery silver quilting thimbles? In
case the weird-ones aren't the best?
