I thought you were supposed to keep the dogs down with the Slider or it would grunge up the works somehow. I once managed to have my slider slide right out of position and I sewed a piece of it into my quilt while merrily FMQ'ing!
I have tried the Leah Day method (without slider!) but I think it keeps the sandwich moving in one direction but not helpful if you are moving the fabric sideways. ???
On the other other hand, I am not proficient at FMQ and it is the most dreaded part of the quilting experience for me, so what do I know anyway!!!
