Has anyone ever had the slider get caught in your machine and rip?Mine has TWICE!!! Now I am afraid to purchase another one they are 25.00 a piece plus the shipping! Geeze I am sorta upset!
Cause it really did help me to move my fabric. I love the mishinger gloves though no problem with them YET!!!

I use painter's tape to secure my teflon sheet to the table. Doesn't affect the slipperiness at all. Note I said "teflon" sheet which I bought from ebay as a baking sheet. It is brown colored but that doesn't matter as much as how easily your fabric glides on it. I got five sheets for $25! That was several years ago when the original Supreme Slider came out that didn't have any tacky back.

If your slider is moving around it means there is lint on the back of it that needs washing off. It's causing the slider to not adhere to your machine bed. So, in the future keep an eye on that.

I tape my slider down with packaging tape. Two times I forgot and it has a few holes in it. I wouldn't buy another, just patch yours up. It will still work fine.

I am not sure if it can be fixed it is ripped completely in half.But I'll give it a try.

I wonder if the silicone cookie sheets would work as well?
thanks for the ideas I may go ahead and purchase one more.LOL
