I had to put a piece of trash fabric on the machine bed, sew a line of a few inches and then re-position the trash fabric. And be careful that I didn't sew the trash fabric into the seam. What a pain. This item may have helped me, but of course my machines are not in the list that would accommodate it.
My mom taught me when learning to sew: If the fabric to sew sticks [she was sewing vinyl], use a piece of tissue wrapping paper under the sticky fabric. You can sew right through that and it easily tears off.
