    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.

    Nope, can't stand the things!

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

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