Machingers Gloves

I have had my Machingers quilting gloves since I first started free-motion quilting.  I bought them from Leah Day after listening to her recommendation in her videos.  I've since heard and read many a quilter swear by these grippy and supportive craft gloves.

Machingers have soft, flexible fingertip grips that cling to fabric and help you get a good hold - excellent for free-motion quilting of course.  I even use them when I'm adding binding or doing straight-line quilting.  They are form fitting, breathable, and offer excellent hand and wrist support.  I initially purchased a pair of quilting gloves that have the little white dots on them, which are very similar to gardening gloves.  I found them too loose (and hot!) and I couldn't do anything else with them on.  Machingers have more of a stocking fit and I can change a bobbin or pull up a thread easily while wearing them.

I just washed my gloves for the first time and boy, did they need it!  Lint and dye from the fabric make them pretty grungy.  I followed the care instructions on the package and used my favourite quilt soap, Soak Wash, to gently hand-wash the gloves.  They came out very nicely and smell wonderful!  I certainly couldn't quilt without my Machingers and I know why so many quilters highly recommend them - and I do too!
