Default Silicon Baking Mat for FMQ Too Sticky

Hi All, I want to do some FMQ on my next quilt so I bought a silicon baking mat to help the material slide easier (I've seen suggestions about this on this forum). Well, maybe I purchased the wrong item because it is not a slippery as I thought it should be and the test sandwich didn't slide at all. The plus side it is that is sticks great to my sewing table and covers a nice large area. I didn't spend that much on it, but I was hoping it would work. Maybe I needed the Teflon oven mat instead? For now, I have my machine set up with very light presser foot pressure which helps the sandwich move easy. As a side note, I will be using a ruler foot and template for the FMQ. Does anyone has any suggestions to make the mat less sticky? It even seems too sticky for pastry IMO.
