I bought every thimble out there, plus I have long fingernails. I tried putting one thimble on one finger, and I would just use the next finger I didn't have one on. I tried three thimbles on all three fingers, and I was trying to use my pinky. I did find one that worked for me finally. I bought it from Walmart, and it has three in the pack. It is called Leather Ring Thimbles, made by EZ Quilting, it goes around the tip of your finger, not on top of the tip of the finger. I found them very usefull, Good Luck to you. I hope it works for you, too. :thumbup:
