'Supreme Slider' versus 'heavy plastic'

I am not sure because I never tried plain plastic, but the slider is made of silicone I believe and feels different. That being said, I wonder what plain heavy plastic sprayed with a silicone spray would do....I had a slider and got rid of it and instead just started spraying silicone on my machine bed and it seemed to work well.

I have the vinyl tablecovering over the machine/table, with a cutout for the feed dogs. It slides well, but the movement of the quilt pulls the tape up and the vinyl curls a bit. Not as smooth as I'd like, but better than none at all. I've tried all kinds of tape and had the same results. Every so often, I turn it around and cut out a new section. When I've cut a few holes in it, I buy new and start over.
When I'm doing FMQ and the feed dogs are down, I use the slider on top of the heavy weight vinyl. It is more slippery than the vinyl, which I like right at the area that's being quilted.
I really like the slider and think it's worth the money.

Yes, as there is a cut out area where the feed dog area is :wink:
Some vinyls are slicker than others... my neighbor added a LOT of extra slip to some for use as a slip and slide (she worked at a plant that manufactured it) The kids could hardly stand up on it when it was wet LOL She said they add different amounts to it, depending on it's use :D:D:D

My supreme slider (the new version) only has a tiny hole-not nearly big enough to clear the feed dogs. In fact it's about the size of the needle hole in a standard plate. You can trim it though.
