I would be lost without them. I am learning on my own and have sewn right through the middle of my index fingernail. Not once but twice. I still didn't learn and twice I had the needle go through the tip of a finger. Sure hurt like the dickens!!! A friend said I need them. So now I always wear them so I don't get carried away and my fingers slide forward on the fabric. Now I have a good grip and I can hold onto fabric.[especially fleece] So I highly recommend them. They aren't expensive. I have even gotten gloves with little dots[I guess garden gloves] from Harbor Freight.But I love the ones that are thin with rubber finger ends and I like the ones I got from Hobby Lobby. Connecting Threads have them too. Good luck!!
