I have several little blue rubber disks about the size of a quarter. They help get the needle through the fabric when it is tough going. BUT I am getting tired of picking them up and putting them down every few stitiches.
Is there something else.........something I could put on my fingers?

Every time someone has staples removed (Dr. office) I ask for the tool they use to remove them. They throw it away after one use. It works great to pull the needle through as well as remove fish hooks from the body. Every tackle box usually has one!

I use a type of finger cot but I don't think that it's the kind that they use in an office. I think I got them in the bandaid isle. They are about the thickness of balloon rubber and they fit nice and snug on your finger.
Another thing that I've used is the fat elastic that is used to hold broccoli heads together. I can't remember why I used them (menopause brain fog :roll: ) but if you have a tough needle to pull through fabric, these work really well.
