I can't say enough praise about the Suprme Slider! I love it!! I had tried FMQ for years & just couldn't get my hands & braint to work together. I bought the Slider after seeing it demoed about 10 yrs ago, what a difference! FMQ just snapped together in my brain & hands, I used it for months until I wore it out (yes I did sew thru it a couple of time because I was just going full speed). I was going to buy another when I realized I could FMQ without it, the connection brain/hand had been made because of the SS. Not to be immodest but I get much praise for my quilting, people assume I have a long arm machine but I just use my Brother 1500. It was the SS that gave me the ability.
