I am trying to learn to use a thimble also. It just feels so unnatural. When I quilt I put Super Glue on the tips of my fingers on my left hand, as far as the right one goes I use my finger nail until the needle pokes thru it, than I apply Super glue & tape, but it is a pain also. I have sewn since I was 9 yrs old & just never got use to a thimble, but wished I had.
Sore fingers are not fun, I feel for you.
