I saw this...I was thinking of just using the rubber shaelfing lining and adding velco to it. It would work the same. I just finished quilting a quilt last night...wish I would have seen this first...oh well gives me a reason to hurry up and finish my next quilt top.

they have something new out, or i think it is new..it is a band that wraps around the palm of your hand..was thinking of buying or making something like that..
they are called "Betty Bands"

MACHINGERS! If I could put it in bigger type I would! I'm sorry to be bossy, but you absolutely must at least try them. Get them online if you can't find them anywhere else. I haven't seen them at JoAnn or Hancock, but most LQS have them. You can usually try them on right there to be sure of what size you need. I beg you on bended knees to get a pair!

Machingers are great, you can get them through Amazon. Also have a pair of Fons and Porter which work equally well. But by all means don't get the "Batt Scooters" as they are a total waste of money. Cute, but don't do what they are purported to do.
