I do the same thing. I cut the fingers off and have different sizes. I also put a bandage or a small piece of cloth inside or a small piece of cotton. This also enables you to pull the needle out easier when sewing thick material. In reality I wish I could use a thimble, like the suggestion of wearing one all day to get used to it. Good luck.
