Sure! Lots of people use the Teflon oven liner sheets as a slider!

Well I went to my sewing room and tried the parchment paper but it sewed to the fabric and I had to rip it off??? I taped it down so what happened???

I feel like it could work but what did I do wrong? I realize it is hard to say since you couldn't see me.But I just don't get it?

I am thinking that will work better and for 14.95 over 25.00 or 50.00 I am willing to try!!

I must be really really dumb...I still can't figure what a slider is or how it is used for quilting...Is it for machine quilting?

Yes, for machine quilting. It's a teflon-like sheet that is adhered to the surface so the quilt sandwich slides easily as you quilt. Easy sliding makes machine quilting much easier, as it reduces drag on the quilt.

Were the feed dogs up or down?

If the feed dogs were up and you didn't cut a hole in the paper around the feed dogs, and your stitch length was not set to zero, the feed dogs would have lifted the paper loose from your tape and the paper would have moved along with your fabric as you sewed.

Even if the feed dogs were down, if your stitch length was not set to zero and you had not cut a hole in the paper around the feed dogs, the weight of the quilt sandwich may have pushed the paper down close enough to the feed dogs to allow them to move the paper.

No you are not dumb. That is how everyone learns.The only dumb question is the one a person doesn't ask :thumbup:

Feed dog was down.But I didn't cut the hole :oops:

I'll check back here in the morning sometime it is 1:30 a.m. here and I am soooo sleepy!Night all.

This is a slider:

Normally for FMQ you just need a hole for the needle, but I'm thinking parchment paper is not as slippery as Teflon or as stiff as Teflon, so maybe the weight of the quilt in combination with manipulating the quilt for FMQ was enough to pull the paper away from the tape so it moved with the quilt. The feed dogs could have helped it along if the stitch length was not set to zero.
