Your favorite FMQ gloves?
Does anyone have a favorite brand of gripper gloves for FMQ? I have a pair of Grabaroos, but they are a) too big (were always to big, but have definitely stretched with use) and b) really impossible to pick up threads or do any adjusting in. I've tried gardening and cleaning gloves with similar trouble. As I'm going to have to invest in right sized gloves anyway, I wondered if anyone has a favorite brand.
Thank you in advance.

I have a pair of gardening gloves with the nubs that I love. They are tight fitting, and I can pick up thread, pins and needles with them. They were on clearance, and I paid a whopping .99 cents for them. Unfortunately, I've never found another pair like them. I think you just have to try on a lot a gloves to find that perfect pair. My BFF has a couple of different name brand gloves, and I don't like the fit of either pair.

boy, mine are old. almost pink beige in color with the tips of gloves open for fingers. little rubbery lines going around each finger. tighter on wrists. I loved them but don't use them much anymore. can't remember where i got them. could have been Nancy's Notions, or Clotildes (Annie's crafts now) or ....

I've tried Machingers, but I prefer Grabaroos. I have large hands and have had trouble finding the XL size. A few years ago, on a trip, I managed to locate several pairs, so I bought every one I could find!
