Jyoti Thimble is worn over the finger and is used to protect the finger from getting punctured as the needle is being pushed through the fabric or leather. It is usually placed on the middle finger or used on the index finger, whichever is more comfortable. It can be used anywhere where there is a chance of cutting or piercing the finger. Thimbles come in different designs, such as open-end, closed-end, and adjustable thimbles. Open-end thimbles are ideal for quilters and allow for better control. Closed-end thimbles provide full protection but may limit dexterity. Adjustable thimbles can be resized to fit different fingers. Some thimbles have textured surfaces or ridges on the top to provide a better grip on the needle when pushing it through the fabric. Consider the durability of the thimble material. Metal thimbles are usually more durable and long-lasting compared to plastic ones. The thimbles have a mechanism that allows you to customize the fit to your finger size, providing a snug and comfortable fit. Some thimbles are designed for specific types of sewing, such as quilting or embroidery. These may have additional features like a dimpled surface for better needle control in embroidery.
Thimbles come in various sizes to fit different finger sizes (3 to 7). It's essential to choose a thimble that fits snugly on your finger without being too tight or too loose. Thimbles may have a domed top, which provides a curved surface for pushing the needle, or a flat top, which allows for more precise control. Thimbles should be easy to put on and take off, ensuring they don't hinder the sewing process. Sewing thimbles are made of high-quality metal (such as steel with a nickel finish). The choice of material affects the thimble's durability, weight, and feel. The weight of the thimble can affect how it feels on your finger. Some sewers prefer lightweight thimbles for comfort during extended sewing sessions.
