Nope, not the silicon ones I have seen. However the thimbles from Luixan
Newman (??) are open on both ends, sort of tapered cylinders with a
section along one side that has dimples for the needle. They are meant
to fit down over the joint of the finger sort of. And she does have a
plastic one to try before buying one of the more expensive silver (??)
ones. And of course the Roxanne thimbles are open for nails, as are
some of the ones by TJ Lane. <G> But they are a lot more expensive.
Tailors thimbles are open on the top too.
Hmmm............wonder if you could cut the end out of one of the
silicon thimbles??? might be worth a try, Tia Mary. <G>
