I am thinking that the FMQ on a larger quilt might be easier if I have these grippy gloves..I was told to get Machingers...but they are no longer available via my distributor.
Here are my choices..Grabaroos(they are purple), quilter's Nitrile touch(various colors, look like water proof gardening gloves), Ergonomic Sewgrip gloves(look like surgical gloves), and machine quilting Grip gloves..(look knitted with dots on them)
any ideas, suggestions, HELP...thanks

I think I have used the ones that look like water proof gardening gloves. Someone gave a light weight pair i think may be from Fons and Porter, I like those to.
Have also used cheap gloves that have the rubber dots ike from a dolllar store or garden center.

so maybe I should hit the stores tomorrow and see what these feel like on before I order anything particular then???
I have seen the dotted ones and water proof ones...never thought of them for quilting, but might have to try them out...lowes it is then..

I use gardening gloves. I don't like that I can't pick things up with my fingers very well...I'm thinking of cutting the fingertips out. They were cheapies from Walgreens so it won't be too horrible if it ruins them! I'll look for a replacement pair first, however. :-D :-D
