Great topic! We have had some customers ask this question too. We will pass on the info!

I use the Mr. Clean gardening gloves with middle, index and thumb cut off so I can thread needles without taking them off. Cost maybe $1-$2.
|
I buy cheap $2.00 garden gloves!
|
I'm in the use cheap gardening gloves camp, hey they work for me, I'm a believer in horses for courses, use what suits you, and no they never ever get back to their original cover.

Me too! I also like the self adhesive bandages you can wrap your fingers with. My hands perspire if they get too warm.

I like to use the knit gardening gloves with the plastic dots on the fingers and palm. They work better than the cotton ones and fit better.
In the garden, I like to use the leather ones. Heavier so the thorns don't get you. |
I used Tartans method. I put them on and washed my "hands" with Dawn dish soap. All the dirty fabric chemical transfer is gone. They are not white but they are clean.

I use all black fully rubber mechanics gloves my df gets for me from my fil. He uses them at the power plants and always has a supply stashed for me :). I've never had a problem with the black from the rubber transferring to white fabric and when they stop being as sticky I get a new pair. Plus they are small enough to fit me. All the store ones are way to big for my hands.

I bought some gloves at Harbor Freight. One pair is the black with the rubber side on the palm and fingers and the other side is a cotton and airy. I can keep them on for hours. 1.98. The other gloves I bought were the blue latex. You have to feel the glove, there is the enter part of the glove that is smooth and will not grip the fabric, and the outer part of the glove is the gripping side. I don't know if other gloves are the same or not, but if you get them turned wrong side out you will not be able to hold your fabric that well. I usually pull them off, turn them back to the right side, blow in them and the fingers pop out and they are ready for the next time I need them.

I buy the machine quilting gloves from Fons and Porter. They are stretchy and less than $5 a pair. Since I wear the medium size which is a dark blue with white "gripper dots" I don't have any problems with dye coming off my quilt to stain my gloves. (I think the small size is red and the large size is gold.) The slightly snug stretchy fit means I don't have to take them off for every little non-quilting thing. I am not affiliated with Fons and Porter, but I really do like these gloves.
