the flying carpet sled is much bigger. Mine is very slippery at least for me. I cut a hole for the needle. I use a little tape to keep it secure. I found the slider too small and flimsy and it seemed to get stiuck in my stitching even with tape. The oven liners I found were way too thin and took a lot to keep them secured down whuch meant I had to remove to change the bobbin. I wasted a lot on the real thing and cheap replacements. I also had a big piece of vinyl from Walmart but that was very cumbersome to use. The sled doesn't smell to me and is flat and works for me. If folks are happy with their sliders and oven mats that is great.
