    I never tried the Octi-Hoops. I tried the supreme slider and was very disappointed. I just use gloves and use my hands circle the area I'm quilting. Someone on this great board will be able to give you advice on the octi-hoops.

    Nope. This post was the first I've heard of them.

    I do have the set of The Fabulous Fabric Glide and love them. It is easy to use, hardly any pressure needed, and I can hold it with my hands or fingers or side of my hands. Everything else I have tried hurt my fingers and hands too much due to my arthritis.

    I purchased a set when I was only using one hand. You have to watch how close you go to the edge as it can knock you off line otherwise I loved them. Back to 2 hands and using FMQ as a hand strengthening so not using at present.
