Thimble Lady Thimbles
Does anyone else use these thimbles and have you had the same problem. I bought both the thumb and the middle finger one perhaps 8 years ago at a major quilt show. I have loved them from the beginning. However, about three years ago, the needle began to pop holes thru to the finger. This happened on both. Of course the dimples that popped thru are those used most frequently and the ones that I automatically go to. Often the needle would break when it got caught in the hole. I e-mailed Liuxim (the thimble lady) about my problem. Her response was that she had some problems with the first units. Something that the medal was too soft, if I remember. She went on to say the new ones were better and I should try them. I paid nearly $125 for the set that I have - I sure cannot justify that amout again. I did find that putting super glue on both the inside and out of the thimble seemed to seal the holes and make them usable again. This lasted for a few years, but they are again poking thru. Just wonder if anyone else has had this experience.

Hi ! About those thimbles...I haven't worn mine thru yet! Guess I quilt less than you ! I did buy the
stainless steel one for about $40.. more out of fear of losing the $$$ one than anything else. It should last a long time.
I use it when going places and the silver one stays home. I love the method and recommend it frequently.

I am wondering if you know someone who solders or has a soldering gun and the metal they use. They should be able to put a tiny dot of the metal on the inside and/or the outside of the holes that are popping through. This would fix it for a much longer time than the super-glue. My husband is an electrician and he has one, so this is how I know. You might even advertise in the local newspaper for someone who does this or knows someone who does it. I would think that after paying $125 they would be guaranteed for oa LONG time!

For that kind of money, I would be writing her back and letting her know that if she KNEW there was a problem with the first ones, they should be replaced free of charge or at least for a nominal fee, not told that you should "try the newer ones". To me, that isn't very good customer service.
