Machingers
#21
A few years ago a quilt teacher recommended Machingers - which I duly bought - did gasp at the price. On a retreat I needed some and couldn't find them - so rushed to Morrisons and bought a 99pence pair of gardening gloves - worked a treat ! still can't find the Machingers !!!!

Just converted £13.89 and it comes up at $19.60 on Ebay !! Our hobby is quite expensive in the UK. If I researched it further maybe I could find some cheaper.

My DH is in a color corps (you know, the guys who march in parades carrying flags) and he gave me a pair of his gloves that he no longer needed. They have the rubber dots on the palms and fingers, and I cut the finger tips off so that I would be able to actually use my hands. So those who can't find the Machingers might look for a shop that sells flags and such; they would probably have the gloves for the color corps.

see that's why I'm wondering if somehow I either got a good knock-off or a bad pair? Cause they have that awful plasticky smell that's so nauseating! I've washed them and no avail. I may have to just chuck them and figure out something else

I tried all sorts of wannabe options, because I didn't want to spend the money.
Disposable painters gloves. Finger Cots. Garden Gloves. and More.
But they were never "just right".
Alas! I gave in and bought machingers.
Once I did buy the machingers, I kind of went .....
.......... duhhhhhh, I spent all that money to save money and look at where I ended up!
Oh, but if I had not done that, I would not have experienced the others,
and come to the conclusion that the machingers are THE best!! (for me)

Try storing them with a dryer sheet (such as Bounty). I use these sheets when I store my suitcases, shoes, etc.
