    I too wonder what they are made of. Looks like rubber but could be very deceiving by the color. Very interesting. Sixteen dollars is worth it as long as it isn't an everyday thing we have lying around the house. Going to go to quilt shop this week and see if they have any.

    Well I read the name of where the gadget comes from off of the large one at another site.

    Here is the addy:

    Does not tell you much more but they are a dollar cheaper. LOL... but did not check out shipping.

    Okay, again- Anyone ever try these or know what they are made of?

    I have tried many different things for FMQ and the best so far is Machingers. They are light weight stretchy gloves with rubberized finger tips. I got the S/M size as they fit snugly on my hand. They are less than $10 a pair. To wash them, I wear them and "wash my hands" and let them dry naturally.

    I bought the Batt Scooters, they're okay - I went back to my gloves after a few minutes. I'll try them again, but right now I'm not impressed.

    Foam, like a child's Nerf ball.

    Thanks BettyGee, that is what I was wondering about, if they worked and were worth it.
