I believe they were under $3 for the package. Kacy
kacy 49 In what dept. at WM did you find you silicone mats. WOW!!!! a lot cheaper. I'd hate to spend so much for a slider and then find out it wasn't my thing. I'M CHEAP.

I have the Supreme slider and wouldn't even try to FM without it. I also use the gloves and have found that I really like doing the FM. However, I am going to go and look for the silicone sheets simply because they are larger. You are working way to hard if you don't have a slippery something under the fabric.
I just went to Amazon.com and found quite a few. Here is the page:
