I understand the sore finger, I do not use a thimble either, but I have found that I like using a shield to protect the side of my finger as I do not push the needle through with the tips. Maybe this would work for you? I hope you were able to make a small Christmas hexie project.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660806020674127460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8891791406203329867.post-32306260707118858322017-12-07T19:47:51.837-05:002017-12-07T19:47:51.837-05:00So sorry about the sore finger.

I started using milliners needles a couple of years ago and found that I can push the longer needle through with my sewing fingers and then finish pulling it out with the same fingers, rather than pushing it with the pad of my middle finger. That helped some, but when you're stitching fast, that method doesn't really work well!
