I wanted to share a video with you I just saw about Batt Scooters. They're a product to help you move your fabric around with ease while FMQ. I have always used Machinger's and I like those, but I have arthritis in my wrist and I need to wear a splint when I FMQ. It's a pain in the rear end when I'm trying to wear gloves and still have some ability to use my fingers too. The gloves are on, they're off, they're on, they're off . . . same with the splint! With these, I can avoid wearing gloves. See for yourself:

I have no affiliation with her or her product. This just looked like a useful product to me. I've ordered them on the recommendation of a friend. I hope they work as well as they appear to in the video. (I have to do something different from what I'm doing now.)

Thanks for the link & for sharing this information.
The product seems to be beneficial because it appears to help your navigating and compresses the air out of the batting at the same time.
I will probably be ordering this product myself.

The great thing is that we are all different and what works for one may not work for someone else. That said I still think they are way overpriced for what they are. I can get a couple of yards of very nice fabric for $14.95.
