Love the Matt idea! Instead of supreme slider I went to walmart and bought an oven liner u punch a hole where your needle goes!!

I think with anything you have to get used to new equipment

The finger things fall off my fingers and sometimes get sewn into the quilt...The gloves make my hands peel.

This sounds like this will work for me. Thanks for the idea! I have used gloves, bare hands, finger cots and still looking for the right thing for me. I guess it is an individual thing.

I haven't used the halo, but have used the rounds with an opening on one portion. I didn't like it, you have to reposition, starting and stopping too many times.
