I used silicone spray that I got from Hancock's, then I couldn't find it, I think someone threw it away because it was almost used up. Well, I looked and looked at the stores, and all I could find is the OILY silicone which didn't want. I finally settled on Armor All and sprayed my sewing table, then sprayed a paper towel and went over the surface of bed of the machine, wiped dry, and it is now slippery. Not as good as the silicone, but it helps.
