I would love have to a glider! However I have found a good coat of car wax on the flat surface of my sewing surface ONLY makes my Juki and Janome pretty slick. I use either a cheap pair of garden gloves with the rubber palms or plain old disposable gloves. I love Leah Day! But I also love the craftsy course. It is well taught by Ann Peterson. I am taking the same one you are and my free motion has vastly improved.
