I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

Quilt Sew East Discs
I loved watching the Paula Reid show and was very taken with the 'Quilt Sew Easy Discs' that she was using. Has anyone on the forum tried this product? I am a fan of the Quilt Halo, this product however looks even better to use.
Happy New Year to everyone.

I have never seen these discs before but I'm using the same method just putting anti slip stuff under my hands. You know the stuff you can put in your drawers to keep everything from rushing around. Hope you understand.

What a good idea, Zarah....................I know exactly what you mean.
I will try that before I buy anything more complicated...................and dare I say, expensive. I love to buy gadgets, I am an easy target, but too many end up in the too hard or I can't be bothered basket!
Thank you for your response.

I was a sucker for the Quilt Halo from Sharon Schamber. I found it more trouble than it's worth. I found little bits of shelf liner got stitched to the bottom of the quilt (having lost track of one piece and cut another). I've tried cutting off the ends of expensive rubber gloves like a guest on TQS suggested. Those didn't stay on. I tried the finger grippers from the office supply store. Those didn't stay on. I think I've tried every suggestion I've seen for the past 20 years.
Gloves, that's what work for me, and not Fons and Porter, not Joann's knock-offs, not gardening gloves, but real Machingers. I've worn the grip off one pair and half off the 2nd pair, but they last a really long time. They get filthy from the fabric, but can be washed. Worth every cent.
Of course, it's all on what works for us...

If you are going to try cutting the fingers off of rubber gloves (a Sue Nickels suggestion), she says you should get a pair of gloves that are a size smaller than you normally wear so the finger tips stay on. I've only tried that in her class, so didn't try long enough to see if that works for me. I normally wear machingers, too.

I have the Machingers also, but in spite of what people are telling you, my hands get so hot that I can't stand it. I had trouble with handling the thread and scissors with them on. I cut the anti slips sown to fit my hand or a bit smaller.

That was an early DVD. Paula has developed her own called Batt Scooters. I have a pair and use them quite easily.

Don't laugh but I'm so loving my gloves pictured below. They are football, receiver gloves and are insanely wonderful. I've tried nearly everything and these work the best for me. I learned about them in a class that I took from Jerry Granata. I purchased them at a local discount store call Big Lots for $10. I wish I'd bought more just so I would have an extra. I ended up having to get youth size large because my hands were too small for the adult small.
And check out the cool bones!!!
P.S. They do not make your hands hot at all. I really love these.

I have two things I use. One is a pair of gardening gloves that were very inexpensive and are light weight and breathable. The other is "Quacker Glides" that I bought at a quilt show from PennywinkleValleyRanch.com. At the time I bought the glides they were $14.95 for the two. I don't use these two things together. I find the glides work well when I am working on areas that I need a bit more control.

I have tried gardening gloves of all sorts and found they just didn't grip enough. I use Machingers now and have never looked back. I think that there is nothing else like them. I don't find my hands get too hot in them (but then it never gets too hot here anyway) and I love the grip they give. I don't liked the idea of the halo because I know that I would end up constantly banging my sewing foot into it, even if it does have a good grip.

I've tried the halo, tried all kinds of gloves incl. machingers. What I hate about most gloves is that I can't thread the needle very well and have to take them off. I bought a nice pair of tightly fitting riding gloves, and they work very well. But my all time favorite are the finger tops cut off regular kitchen gloves that are a size too small for me. Two or three per hand works fine. I can thread the needle and all other tadks easily, have even discovered I'm still wearing them a few times when I ran into the shops quickly before they closed on a Saturday afternoon... I generally use the slightly more expensive, latex free gloves, but not alwaysLotti, Kuessnacht - Switzerland
