I went to Tuesday Morning 2 days ago and found an end cap filled with Fons & Porter's sewing aids. I bought 2 machingers for $1.49 each, embroidery scissors for $3.99, rulers for $1.00 and there's a lot more on sale. If you have Tuesday Morning in your area you may want to check it out.

I do have a Tuesday Morning in my area, but they only had the small size gloves available. Thanks

I use my Fons and Porter gloves all the time but they seem to be wearing out too fast. I would really like to try the Machingers....don't even know what they look like though!

I too have the Fons and Porter gloves that I use all of the time. Couldn't quilt without them.

I use gardening gloves with silicon palms and fingers. Cost 1.00 at dollar tree.

sounds like I need to check out the Tuesday Morning here.

Machingers Gloves info: http://www.quilterstouch.com/gloves/ I tried them on before I bought them & find they run big. According to their sizing chart I should wear a S/M, but find the XS fit better. |
they need to fit well+must have cotton except for the grippy part[otherwise too hot]i used a gardening glove for a long time

Sometimes I do ditch them if I'm hot or don't feel like I can feel the motion well enough. But usually yes, they do help me. :) |
