Making your machine as FMQ as possible
I have read and researched so many tips on setting up your machine for FMQ, a lot of them cost quite a few pennies but the one I like best, and gives me the best results is the cheapest, believe it or not!
It was only yesterday I realized how effective it was as last November I shelled out megabucks for a new machine and other than a charity quilt I haven't done a FMQ quilt project so I setup my machine to do my Brother's Birthday quilt, so I automatically did what I normally do, like polishing all the surfaces with a good quality silicone furniture polish, the difference was amazing, I didn't realize just how much it helps until I did it on this brand new machine.
Forget all those fancy slip covers etc; just a good polish with a silicone furniture polish and the quilt glides like Torvill and Dean on ice, honest it really works.
I am about a third way through and am quite pleased with the results, will post a pic before I post it

there is a silicone spray for machines out there. I just keep forgetting to ask my LQS if they have it. https://www.baysidequilting.com/stor...?idproduct=729

I'm with you sewmary, I use a bog standard polish, Lidl's own which has no colouring but is a good product. I have used it for over 6 years and have had no problems with it at all. I also use Lidl's own multi-purpose wipes for general cleaning of my quilting area including my machine but especially for my rulers, it is brill for those

They were on TV last year teaching people skating in a talent competition, and yes they still skate, gloriously.
