Of all products I have bought over the years, I feel this was one of the biggest ripoffs - ever. So many free motion quilters endorse this product and I was so eager to learn that I made this purchase. I managed to stitch the darn thing to my quilt! I can't say it moved any smoother. I repaired the hole with tape and would try again. It was as useless as useless could be. The price is staggering. That oven liner might just be the way to go. It won't be a horrible waster of money like the slider if it doesn't work out.
