Sewing palms have been used by the Navy for over 100 years.  It was originally made for sailmakers and boatswain mates to sew canvas sail cloth.

Another trick I use is to dab my index finger and thumb tip on both hands with a tiny bit of Barge and let it dry. Most times it gives just the right amount of traction if the stitching is a bit tight and avoids plier use.

This is actually kinda clever - might use it if I can't find my rubber glove fingers!
