BEST New Tool!

I have been doing tons of stitching in super hard places to reach,  as well as embellishing my designs with beads and finishing new needlepoint pieces with Ultrasuede backing.  My middle finger has developed such a callus! Rough enough to catch on silk threads but still soft enough to hurt when a needle back-ins to it as I try to get through thick layers. OUCH!! 

I can't do metal thimbles.  They feels too awkward.  What I bring to you is the best solution ever.  It's a Coin Thimble, a soft leather thimble with an insert of metal which is dimpled so that it can "grasp" your needle as it pushes it through.  As any young "valley girl" would say... OMG!!

I LOVE IT!!
