I have a slider but have also done what Suzy is suggesting. I like the fact that it is a much larger slippery surface. I have also sprayed it with silicone which I purchased at one of the local upholstery shops and is non oily so you don't have to worry about it leaving any residue on your quilt. It works remarkably well. If you want to test you might try a large black heavy duty garbage bag and cut the seams lay it flat and cover the surfaces of your machine and the table you have it in. Tape edges to secure it down.
