    Thanks for sharing this, I will have to give it a try, as I currently have 2 pairs of Fons and Porter gloves, they are size small, and still stretch out after a few hours of sewing, but definitely better than no gloves at all, yes removing bobbins is a pain, also just about anything else.

    Great ideas! Thanks, I always hate putting the gloves on and off so I can take out pins.

    You could do as I did , with the gloves I cut the fingers off at the first joint . Then I hemed them with needle & thread. And I like them very much ,You can get to the bobbin & thread the needle I can even wind a bobbin I bought them at Big Lots.DottieBug

    I saw the pads LAST year at the EXPO and thought they were too expensive, and have been looking for an alternative...Thanks for the tip!!!! I know about the shelf liner, but these were different. I'm about to FMQ a large piece and am new, so I hope these will help!! Thanks!
