I just recently heard of silicone spray for free motion quilting and haven't used it yet, but I've been free motion quilting for about 18 years now and have always used pledge furniture polish around my sewing table to make my quilt slide real easy. Just spray and wipe off with a cotton cloth to remove all residue and polish. It becomes real slippery and I have never gotten any of build-up or yellowing on my sew steady tables.I might try the silicone but pledge is much cheaper and works great on plastic, metal, or wood. Read the label and you'll find there is no wax in it to build up.I've used it for years. A cloth diaper works great for polishing. Try it.

I have this and it works well. Has a tacky back to hold it in place. If it stops sticking just wash it off , let it dry and it is good to go.

This explains it very well.

I, too, would like to know if anyone has a homemade receipie that is used for the solution in the fabric folding pen. Anyone???? Thanx in advance.

I have the fabric folding pin, and I really love it. It does a great job. It doesn't take but 4 or 5 drops to mix it with water.

I've never heard of this item. I think I'll get one too.

never heard of the folding pen. i need one too.

i wonder how many times i've heard that phrase? are we just easy when it comes to gadgets? is that why i go to joanns for 2 things and come out with 20?

I bought the pen over a year ago during a shop hop, then was given one as a gift. I have used it about 4 time, on the beach towel quilts.

I would also love to hear of a homemade recipie similar to the one used in Clovers folding pen. Has anybody got any ideas?? Thanx in advance.
