Teflon "slider" sheets - even remotely worth the price?
I get neck & shoulder fatigue when I'm quilting, even with wearing grippy gloves, so I'm debating trying out one of those stick-on teflon slider sheets for my machine. But they're so darn expensive!!
Are they even remotely worth the price? Do they help that much? I swear it'd almost be cheaper just to get a massage after I'm done sewing for the night!
Anybody have any other tips or tricks that might help? I try to remember to relax and rotate my shoulders periodically but I tend to focus so much on what I'm sewing that I completely forget everything else. I even tried a timer but I just slap the off button and keep sewing, because it goes off at just the "wrong" time, every time! LOL

Here is one topic on this subject that might be helpful. I know there were others I have seen too...try searching for slider or teflon slider. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...n-t146420.html

Lots of good ideas in that thread, I think I might try a couple of the free/cheap ideas people posted before I go spend an arm & a leg on the name brand solution.

I went to JoAnns and bought a large piece (I think a yard-yard and half) of heavy vinyl. I have this spread out over the cabinet of my Singer 15-91 when I am quilting. I think it has really helped keep things moving along. And WAY cheaper than a super slider!
