I've used
quilting gloves for years and loved the way they gripped the quilt and allowed me to have wonderful control over the movement. When I
started teaching Dad how to quilt, however, the gloves just couldn't work for him.
Dad has arthritis in his hands and after a few hours of quilting with gloves on, his fingers would be painfully cramping from the pressure of pressing down and moving the quilt.
We decided to try a lot of different grippy alternatives and these Grip and Stitch quilting discs were the winner. Dad could grip the quilt and move it smoothly under the needle while machine quilting, but keep the pressure off his fingers. He's able to quilt for hours at a time, and produce beautiful quilting designs without hurting his hands.
We currently have a lot of these in stock (unlike some other tools in our
online quilt shop!) and have placed them on sale this month for $5.00 off their usual price.
Or watch them in action in the video below.
