I hate thimbles. When I was taking a millinery class in college, my costume shop manager suggested these little gems - and changed my sewing life forever!
Anytime you are using a needle to go through tight spaces (like bead weaving) or tough materials (like millinery) you end up wrestling with your needle trying to pull it through. Many folks use a thimble to push from the back of the needle. But with the needle grabbers, you just wrap it around the needle and suddenly it pulls through like a breeze! In fact, be careful bead weaving, it makes it so easy to pull through that it can be easy to break a bead!
Needle grabbers are cheap and come 2 to a pack, so I usually have them floating around all over the place in my craft supplies. I usually mine from CreateForLess.
