alxfer Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Customer in today asking where he can get a hold of a 'needle palm'. He says it is like a fingerless glove fitted on the hand with a recess into which fits a thimble. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perplexus Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 He's looking for a sewing palm, sometimes called a sailmaker's palm. They're available at http://www.leprevo.co.uk/photos/palm.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Quite common down on the south coast where most of the sails are made and repaired. Chandlery supplies stock them if LePrevo dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
