Not only do they give you a better place to push against (instead of slipping off the tiny notch a lot of "finger caps" offer), but you can easily "park" the needle in it if you need both hands to untangle a problem thread or something.

It always seems to me that the end of the thimble gets in the way as I usually try to push with the side, and many thimbles have smooth sides that make them difficult if you are a side-ways pusher like me. Still, I never knew there were end-less thimbles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
