Have you used the three quarter round fabric holders that look a bit like part of an embroidery hoop. They supposedly grip and move the fabric sandwich easier while you machine quilt. Do you like yours?

I have them, the ones that don't close completely...don't like them, don't seem to hold the quilt. I see they now have types that clamp shut I'll buy those next time I see them.

Well I love mine. If you are talking about the fabric grippers that are made by the same people who make the gypsy gripper. So it is really an individual taste I guess.
|
I gave mine away to a friend who really wanted to try them. Haven't heard how she likes them, obviously, I didn't.

Have one, tried it but it just gets in the way, very awkward. Used gloves for a long time until I learned about using glycerin. It just takes a drop or two to give your hands the right amount of tackiness and washes off with soap & water. You can leave it on your hands if you want because it's good for your skin (don't bite your nails-doesn't taste good). Haven't used gloves since. $4 bottle will last three life times.

Let us know when you try the glycerin. I haven't put on gloves since trying the glycerin 60-70 quilts ago. |
