When I first saw them, I could not afford to go get a pair at that moment, but they gave me an idea. I dug out a pair of white knit gloves I had, (not good on this clumsy fool) that had the little grippers for driving etc. and tried them, they worked! I was so impressed by how much easier it was, I was able to quilt a Trip around the world” quilt in queen size rather quickly (3 days on my DSM) and not have to have sore arms, shoulders, or fingers from trying to sew, and hold, and move the quilt with my bare hands. I went out and bought a real pair of “Machinigers” the following month. I did the whole quilt “Stitch in the ditch”, but never again, “criss cross pattern” on that quilt pattern from now on. Lol.
