I am sewing the boarder on myriahs blanket, and i don't use a thimble, hello earth to Heaven, it hurts i keep poking myself. YOu would think I would just buy one. Do you use one every time??

When I have to do enough that it hurts, yup I drag my thimble out. It belonged to my mother. But for little mending jobs I'm too lazy.

yep. I decided to use it after I started putting binding on dd's blanket and my finger got RED and hurt to touch! I just have a thimble I bought not one passed down. That would be nice. :reindeer:

Nope, can't stand the things!

Most likely, I'm not coordinated enough to use one. :D

No I never use one. I don't like the things. I find them very awkward and I can't "feel" the needle.
