I mostly use my Juki for FMQ. It lives in a SewEzi table. My solution was to just wax the bed of the Juki and the table with car wax. It makes the fabric slide really nicely and no mat to mess with. BTW, car wax also works on the old machines. I wax the beds of my FW's and 301. It keeps them looking nice and seems to help with the tiny surface scratches.
