I went to Tuesday Morning 2 days ago and found an end cap filled with Fons & Porter's sewing aids. I bought 2 machingers for $1.49 each, embroidery scissors for $3.99, rulers for $1.00 and there's a lot more on sale. If you have Tuesday Morning in your area you may want to check it out.

I tried them on before I bought them & find they run big. According to their sizing chart I should wear a S/M, but find the XS fit better.

Sometimes I do ditch them if I'm hot or don't feel like I can feel the motion well enough. But usually yes, they do help me. :)
