Super Duper Hooper Simple Patchwork Today. I've had that bug fabric for years. Used it in multiple quilts. I must have bought a ton.
Loopy swirls for the quilting with a dark purple back. Final size 39" x 53"
Today's Tip: This is one of those things that works for me, so I'll share it. It may not work for you. You may think I'm crazy. That's fine. When I machine quilt I don't use any fancy gloves or sticky fingers, I simply slather on some of this:
It has to be this exact lotion though. I find it softens my hands, and gives me just enough grip. Not greasy and it doesn't affect the fabric. Like I said, it works for me.
What about you - what do you do/wear for machine quilting?

I use -- but only on my fingers -- that stuff secretaries use for paper grip. You can buy it at the office supply places, and like your lotion, it helps me have a grip and leaves my fingers soft, too.
