I clipped an opening for the plate and bobbin. Works like a gem and I leave it in place for all of my sewing! No problem with masking tape and easy to put on and remove if necessary.

I bought 2 red sleds, unrolled them and put them under the cushions of my couch for a few days. Worked perfectly.

What a great idea! I have the super slider except that I cannot find it and have no idea where I put it. Guess I had better go check out Amazon. And I too love Laura's tutorials.

PS: Are these the ones that are called Flying Carpet Sleds?

KLO, yes they call them that.
Bluelady- they don't smell at all.
Thimblebug- they lay flat

I watch Laura often, she has the best hints and patterns. This looks very handy, I am going to try it, thank you for passing it on.

I saw the same tutorial a while back and order the sleds from Amazon also.....maybe the red ones are slicker than the blue ones which is what I ordered. When I use the blue ones I have a lot of drag. Had to rip out meandering stitches on a baby quilt this week on four blocks and start over!!

great. Better than the sliders or oven mats.

Could you elaborate about the differences of how they each work? I have been considering an oven mat because of seeing it n myGroupon feed for $8.99
. Thanks for any info.
