I am curious to know, for those that have bought this product to do FMQ, what are the pros/cons?? I am thinking about buying one as I have a hard time with my hands and pulling the fabric around on machine.
Thoughts?? Thanks!

FMQ=Free Motion Quilting. The Halo is a rubber coated ring that you put on the area you are quilting and you can slide the fabric around without it slipping and you don't need special gloves or anything.

I have always used gloves but purchased another similar device at the Knoxville quilt show which was a lot chaper than the halo. You might check around. Have also heard some people use small pieces of the shelf liner and rest their hands on those to move the quilt. I may try that as my hands get so hot in the gloves and I have to take them off to remove pins or replace bobbins if the "halo" doesn't work well for me.
