I love my slider!

I really like mine too!

I'm too cheap to buy a slider type product. I actually used waxed paper on my "quilt extension" table that came with my HV Sapphire machine (not too cheap to buy a good machine!!!). It worked very nicely, so maybe once I get moved, I'll give in and buy one!

Try waxed paper, it's cheap and painters tape, which leaves little or no residue behind. And if the paper get's caught and tears, you have a whole box of it to repair it with!

I like my slider and think it makes a difference for me. I agree they are pricey.

I didn't find my slider very helpful, so I took it off.

I went to bed bath and beyond and bought the betty crocker oven liner. It was about 10 bucks and you can cut to the size you want. It is a silicone material like the slider and works great. I think it was 18 x 24 inches or something like that. I just put a small hole for the needle and it works great. It does have to be taped down also. but it works fine and is inexpensive.

I have a slider but found that it didn't help my efforts and I did manage to sew it into a quilt a few times. I have a big piece of the vinyl but usually don't bother with that. I also find that not lowering the feed dogs gives me a better outcome.

I feel between using my Machinger gloves and Supreme Slider, my FMQ has improved tremedously. I have been FMQ for 20+ years.

Pain in the neck. Mine's full of cat hair so I have to tape it down, and if I tape it down, I have to pull up the slider to change the bobbin. 1500S is in a Horn cabinet with a jury-rigged surround, and I can't quite get to the bobbin since the hole for the machine is a bit too small. Everything has to move.

Anybody else tried this...Sounds like a good idea! Referring to the wax paper idea.
