ABSTRACT:
A finger protector for hand needlework is comprised of a thin flat metal sheet folded onto itself. The two flat folded sections of the sheet can be bent about a transverse fold line to allow access between facing surfaces by the user's fingers. The sheet is thus held while the smooth curve at the fold or one of the outwardly facing surfaces is positioned against the material workpiece. A needle forced through the material may strike the exposed protector surface and be deflected away from the finger below. The needle can be guided over the smooth curved surface and redirected back through the fabric.
