My time

Okay just so I understand.....are you using these as sort of handles per se, in place of quilting gloves?? Because with all the hot flashes I'm going through these days, wearing these gloves is murder! Could someone clear this up please. Thanks.

Try this link, it should let you see people using them.

Tonight I'm trying some cut pieces of the anti fatigue mats to see how they do.

After seeing the gal at the Expo using her wonderful $30 "Grippers" with very close closed cell foam layers, it became clear that the end product would warrant deserved attention. Thankfully, they will cost less than $10 a pair.

I hate to wear gloves so I plan to try this. I was wondering if this would help a person with arthritis in their hands. I think it might. Has anyone with arthritis tried it? One of my guild friends has this problem. I will mention to her.

another thing that works is really cheap kid's flip flops. Slide your fingers around the thongs.

Great idea... I have been trying different ideas ... so far, but they are gloves, are the ones I got from Leah Day.. but will have to look into this... as, do not like having to put on and off every time I need to deal with thread ... thanks for the info

I have a box of small and medium surgical gloves that I use for FMQ. I really like them, I don't have to take them off to change bobbins or even take out pins. I can really feel the layers below my fingers. I am even pretty good at taking them off to use again! If they rip, I toss them and get out a new one. If my hands get hot - I run cold water over my gloved hands, dry them off and get back to quilting.

What I love about these as a quilting tool is their shape. Easy to grab onto when managing fabric even if you have really sore knuckles and/or wrists. Caroline, how's the height working out? Do they need a visit with the electric knife to make them shorter?

Nope, no electric knife needed. They are perfect for my hands. I like that they are soft and a little squishy, Also I discovered that they can be used as a lint remover. They worked great on the corduroy squares quilt that I made for my grandson to remove batting lint. Hmmmm, currently eyeing the cat. If I did not need them for quilting I might consider trying them on Tango. Might be better than a Furminator.
