Colonial Thimble Pads – Pack of 12
If thimbles make you feel like you’re sewing in boxing gloves (I hear you, my friend, I hear you), these little leather lifesavers are about to become your new best friends.
Colonial Thimble Pads give you all the protection of a normal thimble but without the 'ouches', the bulk, wobble or “can’t-feel-my-fingertip” frustration. Just peel one off its backing, stick it on the exact spot where your needle usually digs in, and stitch away – no slipping, no pin-pricks, no callouses.
Relief!

Why you’ll love them
- Feels like nothing’s there – soft genuine leather flexes with your finger, so you can quilt, appliqué or hand-piece all day in total comfort.
- Stays put, comes off clean – the self-adhesive backing hugs your skin while you sew, then re-sticks to any hard surface (hello, needle case!) until next time, and all without leaving any sticky bits anywhere.
- Tough enough for chunky threads – these dense leather pad takes the pressure, letting you push even thick quilting needles through without feeling a thing.
- More control, better stitches – not having to wear a bulky thimble means you keep full fingertip dexterity and can guide each stitch exactly where you want it.
- Incredibly long-lasting – reuse each pad again and again; many makers report a single pack lasting for years (I’m still working through the set I bought a decade ago!).
