For the life of me I cant use a thimble and my fingers have became callous so I have a natural thimble on my thumb and index finger HA!
The back will never get as good as the front no matter how experienced you are. If you force yourself to use a thimble long enough it will become second nature. I like one on my middle finger and have learned to push the needle with it, leaving my index finger free to pull the needle through. I noticed Alex Anderson does it the other way around.
