I have one but I prefer the teflon baking sheet. I got one at B ed, Bath and Beyond for $9.99 - 20% coupon. They are also great for applique pressing cloths. Try it and if you don't like it, you could put it in your oven to keep it clean (it's intended use!).

This sounds like a great idea!

Slider seemed too small and too costly, but hear lots of folks enjoy theirs.

Do you tape it down on our sewing machine> do you cut a hole in the middle?

Do you have any issues getting the tape off when doing regular sewing?
