A lady who's a great quilter suggested I get one of these teflon like sheets? I think it somehow sticks to the machine bed and table and makes a large, smooth slick surface to FMQ? (There must be some sort of hole for the needle to pass though...)
Anybody use something like this? What's it called? What brand/type/style would you recommend? How does it stick? I mean... I have a horiz. drop in bobbin... so I'd need to change out the bobbin on occasion....
??? Thanks!

You can also buy one of those over liners that everyone talks about. I finally found one at Bed Bath and Beyond for about $10. The Super Slider is about $28 or something at your local quilt store. Haven't tried it yet but I can always use it in the oven to catch spills if I don't like it on the machine.
Also someone suggested that you cut out an area for sewing and fasten the liner over the bed of the machine with some sort of tape (??) You can probably find more info on this board if you search "super slider" on here.

I bought one at my lqs and it was 28.00 on sale for around 19. But its not very big. It works ok but not very big for what you pay for it. HAve heard of using the oven liners you can get them at the Christmas tree Shop for $5.00 but haven,t heard how they work. You must have to tape them down so they won't slip around. If they work it would be slick because you could cut it any size you want. You have to cut a small hole for your needle.
