I really hate wearing gloves. Yes, I have tried both "quilting gloves" and the plain old dotten gardening gloves. They drive me crazy, making my feel as though my hands have gotten fat and unresponsive. Most of the members of my guild have them and love them. I think it's an individual thing. I have also tried the finger tip thingies and small fip flops. I liked them the best, but I still prefer bare hands.
