Hey quilterguy. I have been beating the drum for people to try a drop or two of glycerin instead of using gloves. Wish someone else would try it and give me some feedback. The glycerin give the hands all the tackiness needed and no fussing with gloves, don't have to take them off to work on machine, no sweating hands. Buy the glycerin at pharmacy (got mine at Wal-Mart for $4, big enough bottle to last three life times!).

You can also just cut the fingertips off of a pair of rubber kitchen gloves. Just a couple of suggestions. Hope it helps. Much cheaper than the gloves and more comfy. IMHO
Also, much cheaper is a pair of gardening gloves from Lowes or Home Depot. They have the little rubber bumps on them for gripping the fabric.
