Machingers Quilter's Touch Gloves, Medium/Large

Basics: Lightweight gloves that do exactly what they are supposed to - amazingly well. Fit my hands perfectly. I have long fingers and gloves very often don't fit quite right, but these were perfect - just enough stretch and give to fit just like they're supposed to. As lightweight as they are, they are also well constructed and should last a long time. Incredibly comfortable - within minutes I didn't even notice that they were still on my hands.Great value! I have been piecing quilts for several years now, and I have tried my hand at free-motion quilting a few times. I've never been too excited about FMQ - piecing and designing is my passion. I had seen "professional" quilters using these gloves, and I had a gift card, so I thought I'd take a chance. I can't believe how much difference these make! I spent hours last night doing a basic meander, which I could never get right before. With these gloves, my stitches were smooth and even, fabric moved along consistently with no major effort. Last time I did FMQ for hours, I spent days recuperating from the aching shoulders that went with the extra effort of manipulating my "quilt sandwich" through the machine. With these gloves, my only soreness was from hours of being hunched in one position - gotta remember to get up and stretch more often! But today I have no soreness at all. Oh, and don't be fooled by the "money saving idea" to use standard knit gloves with fabric paint dots to give mimic the sticky texture and better grip the fabric. I tried that a long time ago. They did grip the fabric better, but they were HOT, making my hands sweat, and I had to keep taking them off and on every time I need to do anything with the thread (stop/start, remove loose threads, change bobbins, etc.). With the Machingers gloves, I never had to take them off until I was done for the night - and my hands never got even a little bit warm. I may finally be a convert to doing my own FMQ instead of always having to pay big bucks for someone else to do it for me. I may even use these gloves for applique and other detailed sewing that could use a little help in moving the fabric. I would highly recommend to anyone who does any amount of FMQ - get these gloves!!

After many years of use, the fingertips on my old pair of Machingers were worn out and starting to crumble. This new pair appears to be good quality like the old ones so expect they'll last many years as well. For me these are indispensable for machine quilting.

Easy to use and helpful when quilting.

These gloves are so much better than the Fons and Porter ones I bought first. I cannot recommend these enough. Love the rubberized tips around the entire finger (thread doesn't stick when I pick it off the quilt to throw it away). Love the fit- I have long fingers and standard length fingernails, so having a glove to fit the length of my fingers without being tight on the ends of my fingers was critical. Love that they aren't dedicated to a hand so I can just grab them and go. These aren't too hot so sewing on warmer days is ok (they are still gloves and will still be warm on the hands - that's just a given with gloves). The material is stretchy but comfortable. The cuffs fit well and keep the gloves from shifting while sewing. A must buy for anyone that needs better grip when sewing, especially topstitching.

I wish I paid attention to the size because they are too big. So I’m constantly stopping to readjust.

I didn’t know I needed quilting gloves. But if you are quilting on your home machine they make all the difference. These are stretchy and grippy. There isn’t anything I don’t like about them and now I wonder what else I need that I don’t know about!

Oh man, these gloves are the cat’s meow! Wish I had ordered them sooner. I was doubtful about how useful they were. But - I was so wrong. The gloves have eased my shoulder discomfort sooo much. Order them you won’t be disappointed!

I've tried many brands of quilting gloves, and these are my favorite. I don't like anything tight against my wrists, so I just cut the cuff off about halfway up, and now I use them not only for quilting, but also for sewing heavier quilts and binding. Notably reduces wrist fatigue.

Great gloves - ordered the Med/Large size and they fit perfectly. Not bulky when wearing and great to help move a quilt around and reduce shoulder/arm fatigue when working with big quilts.

These gloves are very well put together but not for me. I find them too restrictive. I will probably use them when I am reading as I have a tendency to bite my nails when I read!

Lovely quilting gloves, much better than the cheaper ones I have used before. More comfortable, less sweaty... a great discovery.

Utiliser pour courtepointe.J’avais déjà utilisé ces mêmes gants dans le passé.Par contre attention à la grandeur…J’ai dû retourner le produit parce que trop grand.

Love the feel of these gloves, would have been useful to have a printable size guide in the ad before purchasing though.
