I'm a thimble klutz. It doesn't seem to matter which finger I put it on, it's in my way. Or it doesn't stay on. Mostly I keep it nearby for those hard-to-pierce stitches and the rest of the time I put wear and tear on my fingertips. Sometimes I fold the fabric over the end of the needle and push it against a hard surface. I think I really should learn to use a thimble properly.

I use this metal thimble that is adjustable to fit your finger. I use the M size and is comfortable for me.

Onebyone - I like your suggestion about buying a cheap thimble and pound it to make it oval.
