Love "Gloves in a Bottle" so much, I bought all they had (4 bottles) at a Walgreen's close to my house. Not only is it good for your hands while using fabric, I used it on the soles of my feet when wearing socks and it was awsome. I got a free sample from the shop where I bought my machine and went looking for it in the stores (Googled it online first).

A really, really nice product made especially for us quilters. If you can't locate it, I'll be glad to forward a sample to you. I am not affiliated with this company, but a lady in our quilt group gave us each a sample. Let me know!

I'm allergic to most everything that has a scent to it. I'm wondering if there is a lotion someone can recommend that won't be a problem rubbing off on fabric.
Thank you so much.

I have eczema and my hands are always cracking. At night I use AquaPhor. Really good but greasy. In the daytime I use the cheap stuff from the $ store. Someone here recommended it. It's creamy petroleum jelly with vitamin E and is in a blue and white tube. It absorbs very nicely so i can use it and continue to quilt. Sometimes I mix it with aloe gel that I got at the health food store. Aveeno is good too. I tend to use whatever seems to work that day. I will try the glycerin and acid mantle. When you have eczema it's a never ending battle.
