After trying soooo many types and styles of gloves for free motion quilting I ordered these with a lot of skepticism as to whether they would work. Let me tell you that, for me, these are a true game changer. They really do grip the fabric and make the quilt sandwich controllable as I move it around under the needle. My hands are really small and the pads allow my fingers to be free to use for threading, etc and there are no glove fingers to twist around my smaller hands, I think I'm going to go ahead and order some more, cause I am famous for losing things in my sewing room and I really don't want to quilt another quilt without these. These are AMAZING!
