Customer Review ' I recently bought a Roxanne's Thimble after much deliberation (taken me three years to make up my mind!)and I cannot tell you how thrilled I am with it. I suffer from very bad arthritis in my hands and have only been able to quilt for short periods before the pain became overwhelming. My new thimble has eased the pain and made hand quilting a joy and delight. I would say to anyone who is hesitating to spend this amount on a thimble "go ahead, you won't regret it". WP'

Roxanne's Thimble was developed following years of research into the perfect quilting thimble. The benefits of this thimble include:

Strength - hand die-cast in bronze and plated with sterling silver.

Open Face - the orthopedic design fits like an armoured glove around the fingertip yet the thimble accommodates long fingernails and allows moisture to evaporate.

Dimples - deep enough for excellent needle control.

Many sizes - the correct fit is important and most fingers will fit one of the fifteen sizes available.

There are three types of Roxanne Thimble available.

Roxanne's Silver-Plated Thimble. Ref: 7400. Hand-cast bronze with silver plating.


Roxanne's Solid Silver Thimble. Ref: 7401. An heirloom quality thimble: the unique feel of sterling silver cannot be bettered.

Roxanne's Solid Bronze Thimble. Ref: 7402. A beautiful, antique appearance. The thimble warms quickly to hand temperature and is suited to those with metal allergies.

It is very important to obtain the correct fit for the Roxanne's Thimble. When you order a thimble we will send you a set of ring sizers. Follow the instructions supplied with the ring sizers then return them with your order in the pre-paid envelope. Your thimble will be despatched to you by "signed for" delivery (requires a signature). If you are not completely satisfied with the fit we will exchange it for a new size at no extra cost.
