quilting gloves-use them or not
#12
I never thought I'd like quilting with gloves on, but now that I've tried it I can't quilt without them. The grip makes such a difference!
I also use machingers gloves and love them.
For those whose hands get sweaty, Angela Walters has come out with a new glove design. It only covers your wrist and a couple of fingers on each hand. The rest of your hand is open. If you look at some of her newer videos you will see her using them.

As I did not know if I would like them or would be able to do FMQ I bought the cheapest pair I could find on EBay, I think they came from China.
I love wearing them, even if I’m just doing ‘stitch-in-the-ditch, and find them very helpful.

I'm a cheapskate I'm afraid. The the thin rubber matting that is used in cupboards and on your car dashboard to stop things slipping has many uses. It goes under my machine and under the foot pedal to stop any movement, but 4" squares each side of my needle to put my hands on is great when quilting.
Easy to move as the quilt goes through and no gloves to put on and take off.

I use purple Grabaroos also. Love them. They fit tight like the Isotoner gloves of the past. I wouldn't free motion without them either. I love how they have grips on both sides so there is no left and right glove, just put them on and they work.

I can't machine quilt w/o gloves. I have Fons & Porter and Machinger's but the latter have held up better for me.
I want to try Angela Walter's new gloves- well new to me, not sure how long they've been out.
