I have one but don't use it because it is awkward for me also + it won't stay on my finger. Perhaps if I hand quilted every day, instead of about once a week, I might make more of an effort to learn to use it. Nexcare/3M makes a flexible foam "active strip bandage" that I put on the end of my finger if I'm going to be stitching for quite a while. They are cushioned, rubbery, and adhesive.
