A thimble is worn on the third finger.When preparing to hand-sew, the needle is held between the thumb and first finger(or, if you prefer, thumb, first and second fingers), with the sharp end pointing up towards you and the eye-end pointing down towards your lap. Your third finger, wearing the thimble, can be brought in to support the eye-end of the needle.As the needle enters the fabric, the thimble on your ring finger helps you to push the needle through the material.
