you are right...Oh...that is not what I wanted...LOL...well I guess since I have it I will use it.
Are you sure that the glove you bought is not a "klutz" glove meant to be worn on the non-rotary cutter hand when cutting? They usually come one to a package and have knobbies on them as well (helps grip the ruler). I think they are woven kevlar which makes them cut-resistant. I have one (got it after cutting the end off my finger) and use it a lot. :-)

Here are my choices..Grabaroos(they are purple), quilter's Nitrile touch(various colors, look like water proof gardening gloves), Ergonomic Sewgrip gloves(look like surgical gloves), and machine quilting Grip gloves..(look knitted with dots on them)
any ideas, suggestions, HELP...thanks
