I like the machinger gloves for FMQ, they help move the quilt better than just my fingertips. I've also used Neutrogena hand cream, which is water base and doesn't harm the quilt and your hands feel wonderful too. :thumbup: I also use the super slider, I think it helps with smaller projects more than larger quilts. Speaking of small projects to quilt, I have 3 or 4 I need to get done! :oops:
