Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I never use my Supreme Slider any more, since I bought the Brother PQ1500. The bed and the extension table are so slick that I have no trouble moving anything I am quilting. Also, I found it to be a nuisance, having to tape it and it curling in the back.

I love my life!
I have been there and done that...was lucky only a small portion near the needle...just cut a larger hole and where it was slightly torn...taped it with the magic blue painters tape...still works good as new...actually scotch tape would probably work also. I almost always remember to tape it all around with the blue painters tape that way it never moves...sure you can repair it and it will still work fine...they are expensive but very effective
I folded my backing back and quilted it down. Not easy to rip either.

Yes! I've done THAT one more than once. You would think I would learn...............
I have done that and I still use that slider. It was a fairly small area that I sewed through. I can't really tell any difference. I also quilted a small packet of post-it notes to the back of one of my quilts once. Wouldn't you think you would notice that rather quickly? I did take a picture of the post-it notes thinking I would post it here, but never did. Maybe I can still find it. It seems like I have to make every possible mistake at least onceFound the picture. It was just a small stack of post it notes.

Some days everything goes wrong. Good luck.
I did that once myself, but only for about 5 stitches. I didn't know we are supposed to tape SSs down. Doh! makes sense. Hope that by now you can manage a sense of humor about the mishap but, if not, console yourself with the thought that you've got a lot of company. ;->)
I didn't make this beautiful GFG quilt but it's on my wish list to do
I also sewed the slider onto a quilt, and the tape eventually leaves marks on the sewing platform. What I found useful is to use the baking silicone spray (bakers usually purchase them); just a little spray on the platform will make the quilt slide with very little effort.
