I saw that, but it was also $5 shipping. I bought mine at the Viking store inside of Joann's.

I do have a pair of those but my hand perspire so badly when I wear them. Also since I can find nothing in the area where I live I have to order online and there is the added shipping cost. Didn't know the FMQ gloves were made in SLC. Our son lives there and perhaps I can find them reasonably while we are there for Christmas. Anywhere specifically that you find them reasonably?

I also use the rubberized garden gloves on the odd occasion I do MQ'ing. No problem with sweating as the back size is not rubberized. And dirt (no pun intended) cheap.

Many like the gloves. I can't seem to use them successfully, probably just never worked with them
I use
Tacky Fingers
Glycerine
fingers cut from yellow dishwashing gloves.

The cheap garden gloves at the Dollar Store or the good ones from JoAnn with the coupon.

I tried everything, from several versions of garden gloves, to Fons and Porter, to rubber fingers from the stationary store, rubber glove tips, and then Machingers which I like the best.
