I have some, but find them annoying when I want to fix needles and other stuff. As well as this, the skin peels off my hands if I have them on for too long. Finger stalls fall off the tips of my fingers and I can't move the quilt without something to grip it.
The solution was to see how the English quilter, Patricia Naylor, does it:
To get small squares of that non - slip rubbery matting that is put under glasses or bowls to stop them slipping on trays. One about the size of a coaster goes under each hand. It grips the fabric, can be easily repositioned, and your hands are free to thread needles etc without having to take the gloves on and off all of the time.
