A few years ago I took a machine quilting class from well -known quilter Sharon Schamber. She showed us how to use our fingers dipped in Glycerine (from any drugstore) then rub hands together. It does not spot the fabric and probably good for your hands. Works for me for several years.

I agree with gouldmine, I love the Glycerine. It's less than $5, only takes a drop or two on the finger tips, no residue on the fabric, is good for your skin, and a 4 or 5 dollar bottle will last two lifetimes. I hate the gloves, they're hot, get in the way, get misplaced. Can't change a bobbin or thread the machine with them on. They're just generally a pain to work with.

If I couldn't get my purple gloves (I've forgotten the name - CRS!), I would buy 'mud gloves' from the garden center. They have rubber on palms and fingers, but not the back of your hands so they are not so hot. Good luck!
