No, you're not alone. I use a thimble on my ring finger as well. I just never got the hang of sewing with one on my middle finger. I have a bunch of thimbles, all bought as part of used sewing lots on eBay. I find that different ones fit my finger depending on the temperature in my studio. On cold days I use a smaller one. Also, I prefer the metal ones because I can squish them to fit the shape of my finger-- they're not as attractive then, but they stay on.
