    I have used them and they seem to help maintain control when you FMQ. At my age my finger tips are very smooth so I don't have a good grip anymore.

    Yes i use them...they work great. I won't pay more than a few bucks for gloves. You can usually get them in the garden dept for a few dollars.

    I use them for FMQ. I have tried several different brands. Purchased Machingers and I love them. They are light weight and they have a band around the wrist and rubbery tips. They stay where they are suppose to be.

    I have a pair of Fons and Porter gloves and I like them. I use them for FMQ and sometimes SID for long seams. I haven't tried any other brand yet, but may try Machingers when the ones I have wear out (one has a bit of a hole in the side seam already).

    I just bought the Fon's & Porter and am happy with the way they work. The warmth keeps the arthritis at bay. And the gloves help to keep my hands from drying out.

    have tried all kinds of gloves for FMQ. Machingers get my vote 100% ! cool, washable, light-weight. never quilt without them.

    I just started using gloves a few projects ago and I really notice when I forget to put them on. I feel a lot less drag with my FMQ and my shoulders do not hurt as much. I just have the Fons and Porters gloves from JoAnns but may look into the Machingers when those need replacing.
