I have the white Suprene Slider and I have mixed emotions about it. It does not fit well on my free-arm extension table and being loathe to cut it, I taped it down under the extension table where I could. I think it helped with moving the quilt, but it seemed to be a constant irritation to me all the while too. I think if your machine is in a recessed position and not with an acrylic extension table butted up to it, it probably would work a whole lot better.

I'm quite happy with mine as well. I've had it for a year or so and use it frequently. There are a few little 'aids' that help me with FMQ, like the Slider, Machingers and the quilt halo. A google search will find them for you if you're interested.:)

I have been wanting to get a slider and just haven't had the money. But I am going to check out the oven liner.
I have a Brother with the table that attaches. When I lived with my daughter I "borrowed" her Plexus windshield cleaner that she uses on her Harley. Made that table just a slick as can be. It is about $25 a can but will last pretty much forever. Now I just need to find some more to "borrow"<G>
