Quilting with gardening gloves
One of the great things about these boards are all the tips I pick up, and I just wanted to say that one of the great ones was to use gloves when quilting. Maybe it was specifically for FMQ, but I've used them for regular old SITD and straight line quilting, and they make it so much easier to move the quilt.
I use rubbery garden gloves (I think they're nitrile) and they work great! Thanks everyone for this and all the great tips!

Yes, I use gardening gloves for FMQ - and at the moment I am wearing them when I use some crutches as I have recently had a hip replacement and the palms of my hands were getting sore ! They work wonders !!LOL.

Just don't use cheap gloves. I was lucky that the red that rubbed off of the little nubs did not transfer to the quilt (green, pale pink and white),just onto the surface of my machine, but I was able to get it cleaned off.

I agree 100%. Was surprised to see the price and snatched them up right away. And I love them.
