    Default erasers for holding quilt

    I bouht some erasers at the dollar store for holding the quilt down while I'm quilting. The erasers are about 2 inches wide and 6 inches long. The gloves are too hot. I hope they work like I think they will.

    Hummm you will have to let us know, I can't wear the gloves and all I do is grab the fabric as a free motion quilt. This looks interesting.

    I use the grippy shelf lining also. It is easy to move to the area I need to grip and it keeps my hands from getting hot. Even Machingers are too hot for me any time of the year.

    Let us know how the erasers work - I am always looking for new ideas

    Good idea! I use dishwashing gloves - but have cut them so I just use the 1st two fingers. That way my hands don't get hot.
