Default Can you hand quilt without a thimble?

Can you hand quilt without a thimble? I have sewn all my life, though I have only been quilting 3 years. ButI have never been able to sew with a thimble. It just isn't comfortable and it seems to get in the way. I think I might be interested in hand quilting, but can it be done without a thimble, or is that just a dumb question? It sounds real dumb right now. I guess the question should be "Can I learn to use a thimble, even though I have never been able to successfully use one."

Or maybe I should ask "Does anyone do hand quilting without a thimble?"

Hmmmm, well, I am still going to ask. Can you hand quilt without a thimble? I never even thought of using a thimble until I watched some videos as I was trying to figure out if I could do it if I decided to try.

Thanks for any comments that might be helpful...
