I can just imagine the multitude of little stitches needed though and I think from your comments you will choose the faux leather one to help you. It would be nice if you could find one with all pros and no cons though.Naturally Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999271127735997770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035591742792474299.post-20359829842430720042011-04-10T03:05:26.837-07:002011-04-10T03:05:26.837-07:00Your garden is looking great - gorgeous colours!! ...Your garden is looking great - gorgeous colours!! I have only tried the metal or plastic thimbles and can't get the hang of either - no flexibility; I keep telling myself I should wear them around the house when I'm doing other things and they will soon become second nature.

I'll send you the link. And seeing your gorgeous Hexies coming together makes me miss mine soooo much! Yours are coming together beautifully, but not at such a cost. I remember resorting to masking tape at some point...

Those dots are thick and kind of stick to the needle if you push right through them. I try to avoid them as much as possible but somtimes I can't. I didn't have any problems prior to the white fabric. Honestly, it's not as bad as it sounds. :D -wendyWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11836116516752968137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035591742792474299.post-44351185439311210852011-04-06T18:07:17.047-07:002011-04-06T18:07:17.047-07:00It is not really funny, but that is funny how much...It is not really funny, but that is funny how much pain you suffer sewing your garden together. Why so much poking, pushing and pulling? It should be effortless, only catching the tops of each hexagon with your needle. Are you maybe catching the paper templates? That would make it difficult.<br /><br />As for the thimble, I think you are going with the metal one. I only use a thimble to hand quilt and find the metal one to be the best. I have two different sizes and use a larger one on fat finger days! ;)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438742462644374831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035591742792474299.post-52887485140860428862011-04-06T13:28:38.116-07:002011-04-06T13:28:38.116-07:00I almost forgot to say I love how your flower gard...I almost forgot to say I love how your flower garden is growing!!
