Not a SS, but I sewed through an Olfa cutting mat. It was a "slap myself in the forehead" moment.

I have done that and I still use that slider. It was a fairly small area that I sewed through. I can't really tell any difference. I also quilted a small packet of post-it notes to the back of one of my quilts once. Wouldn't you think you would notice that rather quickly? I did take a picture of the post-it notes thinking I would post it here, but never did. Maybe I can still find it. It seems like I have to make every possible mistake at least once:) Found the picture. It was just a small stack of post it notes.

I would love to see a video of this action. Or better yet, see you do it in person. Sounds like a good way; one I've never heard of before. Now I have to go sew a line of stitching on some scrap and then try to take it out. LOL

Some days everything goes wrong. Good luck.

I did that once myself, but only for about 5 stitches. I didn't know we are supposed to tape SSs down. Doh! makes sense. Hope that by now you can manage a sense of humor about the mishap but, if not, console yourself with the thought that you've got a lot of company. ;->)

I folded my backing back and quilted it down. Not easy to rip either.

I also sewed the slider onto a quilt, and the tape eventually leaves marks on the sewing platform. What I found useful is to use the baking silicone spray (bakers usually purchase them); just a little spray on the platform will make the quilt slide with very little effort.

I use this method; stumbled upon it by accident one day and even though it still takes time to do it is quicker and a more fluid, easier action for you. And what a joy at the end of your line to simply have several long threads sitting loose and ready to throw in the bin. Mind you, I still have to wear my magnifyers to do it and have my favourite music playing though!

I never did that, but I accidentally ironed my cutting board. It really warped it. lol
