Troubleshooting

Thimble feels too tight or too loose.

This is a Small size. If it's too tight, consider trying a Medium or Large size if available. If too loose, ensure your finger is clean and dry, and try a different finger. For persistent issues, consider alternative thimble styles.

Needle slips despite the notches.

Ensure you are using the textured part of the thimble to push the needle. Check that the needle is positioned correctly against the notches. For very smooth needles, consider a different needle type or a thimble with more aggressive texturing.

Discomfort after prolonged use.

While designed for comfort, ensure you are taking regular breaks. Check that the size is appropriate for your finger. The soft shaft should prevent most discomfort.
