Who uses gloves, such as Machingers, when doing FMQ? I am a very mediocre free motion quilter, but am determined to get much better at it. The author of the book I bought, "Free Motion Quilting Made Easy", highly recommends quilting gloves and her favorites are Machingers. I've looked on line and they are sold anywhere from $7.60 to over $15.00. Also, lots of good reviews on line from folks who use them. I can get a pair from Joann's on-line (don't know about in-store yet - haven't looked) but I find their on-line S&H cost prohibitive AND they add on local sales tax. It really irritates me to have to pay both S&H and sales tax. I'd like to hear from those of you who use the gloves (Machingers or other) ... praise them or not so much???? And if not gloves, do you use something else instead to help grip the fabric? Thanks!
