Melissa, I use the smooth metal thingies for handpiecing (a quilt) after poking myself a really nice callus while sewing a 1, 140 piece scrap triangle quilt. They work well - and come with several really sticky adhesive pads (yes, I too have lost a fingerprint or two) that can be used for several sessions of sewing before they need replacing. It's better that a full thimble for my purposes and inexpensive to try.
Tweezers! I never would have thought! But this pink koala was an inspiration for me to cut out a 3" bear this evening and try to turn the small legs - I managed without wrecking it and it sure is cute. Really up there on the "awwwww" meter. Thanks Stephanie for the tweezer hint!
What a little sweetie!! How on earth can you make something so small? Isn't turning right side out impossible? I am just a chicken when it comes to building small bears. One day....
