I have tried the Supreme Slider and the Teflon oven sheets. The supreme slider is very expensive and you can sew over it in error as stated....the Teflon sheets work the same way and are so much cheaper. Be sure to cut a hole under your needle and tape (Blue masking tape or Frog tape) whatever you use down to your table. It's a pain when the bobbin needed changing, but that is a trade off you have to make.

Don't waste your money. I got a small one and slide all over, maybe that's why they are called supreme sliders, lol. Way over priced!! The oven liner idea does work but you have to tape it down. You can cut it to size too. I spray pledge on the table and that works too.

a big piece of freezer paper, taped down, shiny side down, works just as well.

some people have used a silicone spray on their machine beds with success.
apply like spray wax, buffing to remove excess.
spray wax works, too, i think.
Furniture polish on the surface does the trick and is so cheap and easy to do.

I have one that clings like glue to my table. It barely clings to my friends extension table. The surface makes a difference. The slider works when it's on the right surface, I think the package should say that.

Had 2 supreme sliders, now use teflon oven liner, like it much better. The price is right.

I've had great luck with my Supreme Slider. I think it makes a huge difference when FMQ-ing.

When it wears out, I will try the Teflon oven liner idea.

Yes it does make a difference. I've got arthritis in thumbs, so it's really a help.
Eventually it got so much lint on the sticky side, it didn't stick to the machine bed. Most of the lint washed off with water, then dry it stuck again. However the corners didn't stick, so I attach it with masking tape.

I tape mine down on 2 corners with painters tape. Works for me.
