I got out a pair of cotton dress gloves (ones I wore to Church when I was lots younger!) and tried them to quilt with. I was so surprised at how well they worked! I have F&P quilting gloves too, but I don't think they work as well as my Church gloves. They fit very snugly and have just the right amount of "tack" for me. I think you have to do some experimenting to find the right ones for you.
