I haven't tried them so I can't say how they work but I LOVE my Machingers gloves.
I went to Lowe's and got a pair of gardening gloves with the little rubber dots. They work just fine.
I have to feel my fabric when I do FMQ. I have the gloves but they bother me too much. I also have to "feel" my foot pedal, so I quilt with one bare foot!

I'm taking a Craftsy FMQ class with Leah Day and she recommended using your bare foot on the foot pedal as it gives you better speed control. I haven't tried it yet but plan to.Originally Posted by TerryQuilter
I sew barefooted, too, or with footies, if it is chilly. At work, I do my transcriptions from my dictaphone with one bare foot, too.
I also use rubber palmed garden gloves that I got from Walmart. They are very thin and do not make my hands sweat. Also cheap.
I use two over sized erasers i got at the $tree. My hands are so small, that I cannot get gloves sall enough to use them. I tried the quilting gloves and the gardening gloves they were way too big. Someone on this board suggested the erasers, and they work great.
That was me Threadhead that put the erasers on the board, they helped. I also found this ring at Walmart I have not tried it out on a quilt, but I've played around with it. It cost 9.99. It is made of some kind of rubber on the outside.

ok, I've tried out the erasers, exercise rubber ring, finger tips, rubber surgical gloves for quilting. What works for me for quilting is: !. rubber surgical gloves, 2. erasers, 3. exercise rubber ring 4. finger tips.
Gloves for the larger/all quilts.
Easers keeps my hands from getting tired, they help.
The rubber ring, not good for large quilts with small throats, smaller quilts that you don't have to fold/roll up, I think the ring is to large, a small ring would be better.
Finger tips fall off, I had higher hopes for them.
