quilting gloves-use them or not
Hi, as the title says, do you use quilting gloves or not, to free motion quilt?
I never had, until yesterday at a friend's house. She had a pair and I don't know if it was the large flat surface, or the gloves, or both that made the difference, but it sure helped my hands and my wrist not hurt. If you use gloves, what kind are yours? I am thinking of getting some next trip into town.

I have tried Fons and Porter, several different varieties of garden gloves, rubber tips, and always go back to Machingers. I know they make some folks hands sweat but they don't for me and I think they are the best for me.
If you look on eBay you can find knock offs for really cheap and they work fine, at least for me.

Machinagers for me! At first I tried garden gloves with plastic dots but wasn't satisfied. Once I tried the Machinagers, that was it for me. I think the two things you mentioned, a flat surface and the gloves are so important to FMQ.
