I really hate wearing gloves. Yes, I have tried both "quilting gloves" and the plain old dotten gardening gloves. They drive me crazy, making my feel as though my hands have gotten fat and unresponsive. Most of the members of my guild have them and love them. I think it's an individual thing. I have also tried the finger tip thingies and small fip flops. I liked them the best, but I still prefer bare hands.

I was having a problem of getting the quilt under the presser foot. I am not very sure. Please any help would be appreciated very much. Thank you all in advance for your suggestions. When its done, I promise I will post pictures for your viewing.
They are cheap at Connecting Threads. I have a pair I haven't used yet.
Have a blessed day/weekend ahead.

gloves are essential but any gloves that have a nubby texture will work, I have pink "quilting" gloves that I found at Walgreens that were 3 pair for 2.99 and they work great instead of paying up to 12 for a pair
