I'm with Jan. Not only is it expensive, it looked like it was slowing the quilter down quite a bit. This is why I almost always wear a surgical glove (50/$5.00 from the pharmacy). It gives me a sure grip on the needle at all times. I believe someone else mentioned cutting the tips of fingers out of rubber gloves; that works, too. Recycling dream ..... wear out the glove in the dishpan; then re-use the tips for quilting!
