But it did not help so much. Now that I have the right needles (10 , 12, 13) I do not need it anymore. And yes, the dog has the right size!!!beadexplorerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04026965360591296360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348133.post-58662614083726207302007-03-11T18:14:00.000-04:002007-03-11T18:14:00.000-04:002007-03-11T18:14:00.000-04:00I sure do use a thimble. Im fact I use three. I use a plastic open around the finger thimble and then I use two of the, paste onto your skin, plastic protectors. I'll try to take a photo and send it to you in email if you'd like. <BR/><BR/>I think the dog is perfect. Just right. He looks great!Mary Timmehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06610970753020969331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348133.post-66264849282172642762007-03-11T17:27:00.000-04:002007-03-11T17:27:00.000-04:002007-03-11T17:27:00.000-04:00nThe dog is perfect of course!whimsicalnbrainpanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13158339502955458999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348133.post-87555120001450941792007-03-11T16:31:00.000-04:002007-03-11T16:31:00.000-04:002007-03-11T16:31:00.000-04:00The dalmation is perfect for the firetuck!Cristinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01601162383338200734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348133.post-49521190368957530952007-03-11T15:40:00.000-04:002007-03-11T15:40:00.000-04:002007-03-11T15:40:00.000-04:00I got my thimble at Micheal's craft store, but I'm sure they sell them at sewing shops, too...The Lone Beaderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17670946654211536130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348133.post-26513285458795535832007-03-11T15:33:00.000-04:002007-03-11T15:33:00.000-04:002007-03-11T15:33:00.000-04:00I use a leather thimble, but I like yours with the little disc in it.
