Because I'm not thinking straight...didn't comment on this in the above post.
I do not use an underneath finger protector of any sort. I just deal with the callus and the residual peeling when I'm done with the current project. Not pretty, but it's what I do. I have not tried the Aunt Becky and/or spoon process. Maybe on the next quilt. The one I'm working on now is only a baby quilt so that's not so bad. But it would be really nice to not go out in public with horrible fingertips!
