Quilting Gloves
#42
I have the Machingers, I took a fmq class and the teacher had all of the aid for fmq, rings, halo, garden gloves, finger cots, etc. So I got to try these up agains other fmq aids and other brands and love them. They are flexible engough I can thread a needle while wearing them and have tried quilting without them and just coudln't do it.

Another Machiniger fan here. I started with the cheap garden gloves, the thin mini gloves for winter and various other things that other gals in group said worked well. For me Machinigers is the only one that I use.
For the hand work I use Hand Eze gloves. Fingers are free but they keep all those tendons warm. I also have theraputic thumb supports that I was forced to use again this week. I overdid the cross stitching the other night and I have not had such a vicious attack from such a short period of time ever before. I will also use the Hand Eze as I am now when I am at the computer. There are other brands out there as well but I haven't used them.

i did not buy "quilting gloves" i found some at harbor freight that fit fairly well that work well for me i think i paid 3 bucks for them and mr clean now makes a line of cleaning stuff and one of the things they make is a pair of spandex like material that has rubber grippy stuff on the fingers and palms that also fit well didnt see the need to pay high prices for something just because it says "quilting"

The first pair that I purchased were Machingers, now I'm using Graberoos.I have used the cheapo's also, but they don't give you the control you want. Not only do Machingers control the feed of the fabric into your machine, but I have found that it helps emmensely with my Arthritis. I love them, and won't quilt anymore without another pair. (The Graberoos I'm using now, are better then nothing- but give me Machingers again. PLEASE????
