Some one on this board showed how to convert a cheap pair of stretchy gloves, $1 at JoAnns, into quilting gloves. I did this by adding that puff fabric paint in a design on the fingers and palm of the gloves. They work fine.

I tried several brands, plus cheap things like finger cots, but the Machingers are IT. You can even thread a needle wearing them. They're not expensive, but so so so valuable for good quilting. INVEST! Machingers
