I have a box of small and medium surgical gloves that I use for FMQ. I really like them, I don't have to take them off to change bobbins or even take out pins. I can really feel the layers below my fingers. I am even pretty good at taking them off to use again! If they rip, I toss them and get out a new one. If my hands get hot - I run cold water over my gloved hands, dry them off and get back to quilting.
