Wrapping hands with grippy straps as alternative to quilting gloves (??)
 
I saw Rebecca Pierce's FB reel where she is FMQ feathers and I cannot tell what she has wrapped around her hands to grip the quilt layers in lieu of quilting gloves.

How would I find out what these are and where to buy them? I am finding quilting gloves don't give me as much control as I'd like, they feel weirdly claustrophobic (does that make sense?).

Thanks all!

They actually look like grip gloves, not straps, at least from my Google search. Marcia Baraldi is one "brand" - she sells on Etsy.

You might also ask Rebecca herself what she's using - try messaging her on Facebook.

Christina Cameli uses gloves that she's cut the finger tips off of, which might also be worth trying if you have a pair you no longer use.

Ranae Merrill uses little squares of the grippy matting. I've tried it and it works great for small pieces but I didn't really like it for larger pieces.

Thank you! I think you're correct, it looks like the Marcia Baraldi gloves seen here.

I also have the Machinger gloves but some days it seems like I am taking them on and off too many times. I made myself these “classy” grippy things that I enjoy using so much more.

$40!! For those gloves? I like Thimblebug's idea! "For Quilting" usually adds to the price!

Easy! Is that "Vet Wrap" you're using?

My son gave me some gloves that he found at the $ store. They're just like my quilting gloves with the little, plastic nubs on the palms and fingers, but a different color. I think that he found them in the painting and tools isle. They work great.

No, it is left over shelf liner from the RV. You put it in the RV to keep the dishes from sliding around. It is very similar to the liner you can use under loose carpets.
