    I've found a pair of textured neutral colored garden gloves last year. I don't do a lot of hand quilting but there are times I just don't want to 'fight' with the fabrics to have them line up. Some day I'll move up to the big girl gloves.

    Please, please, please, everybody--buy a pair or two of Machingers and your quilting lives will immediately become much easier! You won't believe the difference they make.

    But it's best to try them on if you can find a shop that carries them near you--I have fairly large hands but wear a small in Machingers. They're sold in a ziploc bag so you can take one out and try it on gently.

    Do it! Please! For me!

    The problem with garden gloves is that they would be thicker and not tactile sensitive as these are. Also the elastic in the wrist is very clingy and feels very good on my arthritic wrist. I am going to get another pair for sure, for when I lose the first pair. I'll get them when I get my 2nd can of basting spray.

    Love them for FMQ plus the Slider that you use on the bed of the sewing machine (I can't remember the real name). Much more control and less shoulder and back pain.

    I have a pair of purple Grab-A-Roos that I like. They are soft & comfy & give me great flexibility of movement. Has anyone else tried these?
