Now Available: Cotton Gloves for Machine Quilting

Quilting by machine is a lot faster than quilting by hand – but it's not necessarily easier. Getting a good enough grip on the quilt to guide it through the machine took all of my strength. I'd finish with sore shoulders and arm, wondering if quilt-wrestling could be a new Olympic sport. Then I noticed that most quilters on the internet use gloves. Now I use them all the time. Machine-quilting still requires some strength but the gloves make it a whole lot easier. The Quilt Center now sells cotton tricot gloves with non-slip fingers and palms. The price? 5.00 NIS. You really can't beat that.
