    I think the main problem for me, would be the limited size. For my quilting "table" I have same size boxes taped together, that cover my entire cutting table(4 1/2' x 7'), plus a little extra on the sides, then 2 pieces of the heavy clear vinyl covering the boxes, then I spray fabric safe silicone on the vinyl and that makes it super slippery.

    I saw this today and I will keep my eyes out for them on clearance in the spring. They don't have the sticky back like the supreme slider to stick to your machine bed but they are cheaper and I could tape it down.

    I love that lady. I've gotten so many great ideas from her videos. Thanks! I already ruined a Supreme Slider and have no intention of buying another one.

    I'm thinking snow carpet is going to be hard to find in Houston.

    See these all the time in Alaska. We just call them plastic sleds.
