Supreme Slider alternative
#11
The Sew Slip brand is twice as large and runs about $20.
This is a good seller who I've ordered from, and I'm pretty sure she combines shipping costs:

And on this board, I heard about silicone spray for textile applications and I bought some of that, too. All my FMQ surfaces are slick as a whistle - really cuts drag! When you're wrestling a king-size quilt, every little bit of drag that you can eliminate makes the work easier on your hands, arms and shoulders.

Thanks to all that sent me their opinion on this item. Sounds like it might be for me. Maybe I will have to leave hints out that Santa might just read & pick one up for me. Our LQS is very small & she doesn't carry a lot & this is one item she might not have but will have to check it out. Happy holidays & Merry Christmas to all QB members. Tks for all your help.

I have a yard of JoAnn's heaviest vinyl. I tape it at the needle with package tape and one piece of painter's tape on the front of the cabinet. I like that it covers such a large area - the entire swing out part of the cabinet and the adjoining cabinet so the quilt slides nicely.

The members here on the QB are so inventive & clever that I was hoping someone has come up with an alternate material that could be as good as the Supreme Slider. I just find it so expensive (here in Canada it runs about $35.00-40.00 for the regular size) & the queen is even more pricey. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I could use instead of the Supreme Slider. Any & all suggestions would be very much appreciated. Tks to everyone.
Would you believe that the Automotive Department at Canadian Tire may hold your solution ??? I spray vinyl protectant (such as Son of a Gun) on the bed of my machine and then buff with a soft cloth. This makes the bed super slippery and FMQ a breeze. Hope this helps.
