I got the yellow Fons and Porter gloves. They so make it easier as they just seem to hang onto the fabric as you guide it in. They really are wonderful!

I love my gloves! Makes it so much easier to quilt. They keep my hands and back from getting so sore.

These gloves make your quilting life so much easier,
they are soft flexible and allow you full control with less resistence and drag on your fabric.

Most important your shoulders, hands, arms, and neck will receive better support which reduce fatigue and tension in these areas.

I have used Machingers for many years and found they really meet my needs.

Yes I love the Machingers. Also the rubber tips that are made for money counters, they work great especially if your hands get too hot in the gloves.

I got a pair of"gloves for making your hands soft" that you sleep in. They work wonderfully for quilting. I got them on sale at Bed Bath and Beyond.
