A thimble for use in quilting, sewing or the like to manipulate a needle includes a flexible member and a shield member. The flexible member has four notches in spaced apart relation forming four tab portions positioned therebetween. The notches enable the tab portions to be bent about a finger of a person for conforming and fitting the thimble to the finger. One of the tab portions may be elongated to provide an elongated flap for fitting the thimble on a finger with a long fingernail. The flexible member is attached to or integrally formed with an adhesive material for securing the thimble to the finger of a person to prevent slippage of the thimble. The thimble further includes a shield member attached to the adhesive material of the flexible member for protecting the finger from contact with the needle. The shield member includes a dimple for seating the needle during use of the thimble and a curved surface for conforming to the finger of a person.
