I use the rubber fingertips for office work you can get them in Staple's or any large office supply store cheap! They have different sizes to fit your fingers and one lasts a long time! I can't get used to the thimbles either. End up putting one on & then not using that finger again! Makes it kind of useless! LOL! The rubber stops the needle from going through my fingers and I have no problem using the finger I've put it on. Hope this helps you & that you heal quickly! That's pretty painful!!
