I tried something similar and I just don't have the coordination to make it work for me. I unstead use a set of "winter" gloves I got a couple of years ago. They were like buy two sets for a dollar and they have little dimplely gripper things on them like the expensive gloves do. I seen someone had made a pair of these using fabric paint on a pair of gloves that fit their hands. All you have to do is put little dots on the palm and finger of each glove, let them lay flat to dry and then have at it!
MAKE SURE THEY ARE 175% DRY BEFORE USING THEM ON YOUR QUILT! Or you will have unexpected dots on your beautiful quilt!
