I just got the Machingers gloves from a LQS and they do work well. They are thin enough you don't have to take them off to thread a needle or do other things. I don't know anything about the other brands.

A friend in Washington sent me a pair of FMQ disks you hold down on the fabric which grip. She said they are sold in two quilt stores in her area. Just got them Friday; can't wait to give them a whirl. I hear they are marvelous for those that don't want to wear gloves.
They are called Stitch and Grip Quilting Disks and the website is under construction.

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

BTW, my across the hall neighbor just stopped by. She wanted to see what all of the racket was. Said it sounded like a rapid fire machine gun. Ah, the sweet sounds of FMQ!
