Question

A needle used for sewing has a sharp point at one end. The person sewing often wears a thimble on a finger to push the needle through the fabric

Answer 1

A thimble is worn by the person so that his hand does not get pricked.

• A needle which is used for sewing is sharp from one end but the second end also is not blunt. The second end is also sharp although not as sharp as the front end.
• In the English language, a thimble can be described as a small cap made of plastic or metal with a close end. The thimble is worn so that the fingers can be protected when the needle is pushed when sewing a fabric.
