Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Taylor Seville Originals Wonder Grip and Thimble-Sewing Notions and Accessories-Sewing Supplies

I was not expecting this to be as useful as it is. I've noticed that in general that my hands hurt less using this when I'm embroidering. Highly recommend this if you have problems getting the needle go glide smoothly through the fabric.

Doesn’t work for me - finger thimble falls off

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2023

Verified Purchase

This product just does not work for me. It arrived exactly as described, but the finger thimble does not stay on and just falls off. I would categorize myself as having average size hands (I typically wear a women size medium in gloves). I ended up cutting off just the thumb thimble part and using that. This part alone has helped with gripping the needle during hand embroidery but given that is the only usable part for me I feel like I overpaid. But - there are plenty of good reviews so this may work for you if it will stay on.

Amazing!

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2023

Been sewing since age 11 - decades. Thimbles never stay put. This go-round, I purchased two kinds, this and another thimble that were non-traditional. The other I knew would work, but in order to be "tough" it needs to be "stiff" and my fingers just never have enough movement ability on that right hand to keep speed and quality up. I saw this, and I jumped in to try it.

This is amazing! Stays put, flexible as a 2nd skin, I don't really even feel it on. So comfy, and when I say the silicone stays put, I really mean it! My hand wears a S-M female leather glove, and this item fits perfectly for my need. Snug is good as I need it to stay put - it stretches with a lot of give. And the cap connected to the silicone, and the silicone itself, seem sturdy and not flimsy. Seems well constructed.
Truly surprised. And to the reviewer that questioned the center band connecting the two, my only thought is that I appreciate that part so I don't misplace one end or the other!

I did make one "wear" adjustment, but it cooperated with the change fully with no change in comfort or my use of it. On right hand, middle-finger and thumb: I put on the thumb as designed (bumps under thumb pad for traction grabbing needle. I slipped on the middle-finger part, but twisted it around 180 degrees so that the [lowest part of the hard cap/ridges] was located where I "push the top of a needle through heavy fabric/quilting/thick sewing". For those who don't have this item just yet, most of it is a silicone soft non-slip material, with the exception being a hard-plastic "cap" that goes over the finger-end to give some ability to push needles through heavy fabric. So we have two needs met with this build: Silicone that really (really!) stays put comfortably and does not impede hand/finger movement (but needles will go straight through easily), and a hard plastic cap tough enough to be the real thimble part. That "cap" is not very "tall" which is a plus, and it has uneven sides: One side is a bit taller with nice ridges in it, the other is shorter. Wearing it with that center band flat as it seems to be designed to be worn, it seems that taller nicely ridged side of the hard plastic cap faces up on my finger, not on the pad of the finger I use to push needles. That felt awkward but no worries: I pivoted that hard/ridged cap around to the part of my finger I push with. The center band twists a bit but cooperates, and in that way I sewed and sewed and sewed and finished my project so much speedier! Not one pin-prick in my finger.

If you haven't tried this I highly recommend it.

I just couldn’t get used to the connecting strip, so I cut it off and use both thimbles.

Different, but good

This isn't an ordinary thimble, obviously. It takes a bit of getting used to, but I really like it. For me, it is especially good for long sessions of hand quilting. Both the thumb and middle finger thimbles fit snugly but not too tight. I'm glad I tried it.

Never Knew I Needed This!

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2023

My first thought when I saw this was "what a strange thing".
Turns out, I love it! I do a lot of wool work, like candle mats, runners, and even larger works. This thimble really helps! When it gets tough to pull the needle thru multiple layers I can just pop the thumb piece on and pull the needle through. I don't use it the whole time I work since the piece that fits on my thumb tends to flop around. It is easier for me to use by putting it on as I need. If I'm at a particularly difficult place I will just leave it on.

A bit to big for small hands

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2023

Verified Purchase

It would work great to grip the needles but I have tiny hands so nothing fits me good, I struggle finding gloves too. It's a nice soft silicone and very comfortable to wear. 4 stars because I wish they had it in sizes

Works really good

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2023

Verified Purchase

Actually works really good. A bit awkward to leave on all the time. Looking for something to where all the time while embroidering but this has a strong grip on the needle and also has the top that will push it through so it has all the key features I wanted .
