Default Binding by hand

Usually I machine do binding on my charity quilts, but have a quilt I may decide to show next year. I decided to hand bind that quilt and add a hanging sleeve..
I do a tiny invisible stitch and either I'm as slow as molasses or a mean gremlin is removing stitches when I'm not looking. Honestly I started about 10 am and stopped at 3 pm only completeing two sides! My fingers are so sore. I have never used a thimble so please rule that out before mentioning it. How do other quilters hand bind that doesn't leave them with sore fingers? OUCH!!
