I have wondered about this product for a while and am debating buying it. Does anyone have it and is it worth it? I'm thinking it might not be big enough. (It is a teflon sheet that helps the quilt slide when free motioning~ http://www.freemotionslider.com/ )

I bought this item but I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I'll be curious to read any answers to this one!

I have one, used it before I got my table set up. Worked okay, but found that sometimes the tape pulled loose when pushing and pulling quilt through.

Don't know where the topic is but somebody posted on here that Menard's had baking sheets on sale..... they said they use these like the supreme slider and A LOT cheaper......

I finally gave up on mine. It didn't make much difference and I have put wax on my extension table for BETTER slide. I found the pink, supposedly self-stick backing doesn't work so I have to tape it anyway and it comes off. I've sewn through it a few times, leaving a big up-turning hole. And you can't change your bobbin without taking it off. Overated, IMHO

I have Sewslip, same thing. Wouldnt be without it, it has made so much difference with my fmq. And it doesnt move at all. I just clean it end of each session under cold running water.

I love mine. It makes the FMQ much easier for me. Thanks for the tip from Katrine on how to clean it.

Thanks everyone. I bought one to help me start FMQ. Now all I need is the confidence lol

I'm not big on gadgets and gizmos, generally, but I do like the supreme slider. I find it makes free motion quilting with a flannel backing much easier. And if you run it under water to get the lint off, the pink side will stick very nicely.

Instead of spending so much for a slider, buy the teflon baking sheets. Cut a hole for the needle and you have the same thing and I am not sure they are no slippery-er? They are brown instead of white but you don't need to see through them anyway. I use three to completely cover the main part of my sewing cabinet and it is absolutely great when FMQ.

I love mine...sadly today I did not tape it down enogh and got it stuck in my needle...so I finished the quilt without it. It was so much harder harder...I hate the thought of spending another 20 plus dollars again...but it is worth it.

It looks like it comes in a new larger size! That was my only gripe about it. I don't know if I want to spend almost $60 for the bigger one. I looked at the baking sheet and it felt like there was a lot more friction than on the supreme slider. I haven't had to tape mine down, just make sure the back is free of lint by rinsing it and then letting it dry like the other ladies said. The old ones required tape, but the new ones have a sticky back.

Love mine!

we had a thread on this in the past 10 days....what I am going to try is a piece of heavy clear vinyl from Joann/Hobby Lobby at a fraction of the price...

Used mine all the time with my Grand Quilter. Rinse the back when it needs it. Works great.

I tried it and personally would not buy another. I also, tried the oven liners and find all that was a waste of money for me! I also found, I don't really need it after all. Just my HO!

I priced baking sheets and found them to be just as spendy...I found I do just as good without any of that stuff!

I made the quilting table for my Juki with the insulation boards and then covered with vinyl from Joann's...like I had seen on here...but the vinyl is not slick at all! So, we decided to put car wax over the entire surface and now it's slick as a whistle!

I really like mine. After I destoyed mine Sat and finished my quilt without it...I quickly found one on Amazon for 19.99 and than 5.00 shipping. I hate paying that much but I really do think its worth it.

I bought one, it stays on the surface just fine, but I have noticed no difference at all.

I guess my sewing machine was slippery enough already?

The greatest help has been to set my sewing table in front of an outfeed table, such that the quilt never droops.

I have one and won't quilt without it. I bought it, the gloves and the bobbin washers in a kit.

I have the Slider and I think it really helps especially if you are quilting a large quilt on a home machine (non-longarm).

Great idea....and still a quarter of the price..... :thumbup:

Does the car wax stain the material?

I bought one quite a few years ago for my Bernina 440, but I didn't find it too useful. However it is wonderful for my Handiquilter Sweet 16 sitdown! I don't know if it's the table or what, but I found a significant improvement when I use the super slider. I do tape it down with blue painters tape, just in case. While it does help with the fabric moving, it also helps bridge the small gap between the machine and the table.
