It opened up the world of free motion for me, will forever be glad I bought it. I had tried for many years to FM but just couldn't get the hang of it. About 15 yrs ago I bought the Supreme slider at a quilt show (also another system much more expensive at another booth that was a disaster) taped it to my machine & took off, somehow it helped me make the connection between my brain & my hands, I think because it was so slippery. I used it happily for months, finally wore it out by sewing into it (the original sticking system was not as good as the current system from what I've been told). I was going to buy another one then realized I no longer needed it, my hands & brain worked together without it. Since that time I have free motioned dozens of quilts & love doing it. I put on an audio book & take off to my happy place.
