In an online class they said to use the gardening gloves (nitate or something like that). I believe they were at WalMart $4 a pair or less. They worked fine for FMQ, but were hot and I don't like gloves. I use Mr. Clean sponges and do not wear gloves. The sponges grip the fabric and I can put my hands flat on the top of the sponges and move the quilt to FMQ.Carpal tunnel issues in both wrists so I need a good grip to move the fabric yet no stress on the wrists.
