Do You Use Thimble When Hand Sewing

I hand sewn a lace fringe on a maxi skirt.

I’m done with first layer and it took two hours

now my thumb is sore

woukd I be a weenie if I use a thimble for thumb in future?

do you use thimble when hand sewing

do you have recommendations on thimbles, preventing sore thumbs, etc after two straight hours of hand sewing

Oh okay

I guess in Olden days women had to sew the entire day, since people made clothes at home. Hence thumble would avoid sorenesses
