    I got the supreme slider but finally took it off. it kept getting caught up in my quilt as I moved it along. I will not resort to taping it down.

    Just a hint.. In a pinch, I was at a retreat and wanted to FMQ. The fabric was dragging. Finally another quilter came over and showed me a cheap short cut. She took a piece of unwashed fabric and really polished my table top hard. I swear it was as slick as can be after that. Now that is all I use. Just saying in a pinch it is something to try. I know that fabric is really filthy before washing. Have you ever looked at your gloves used for quilting after using them. Mine are the color of the fabric and dirty. By the way when they get looking bad I just throw them in the washing machine with my other clothes.. They look pretty good until I quilt again.

    I don't understand buying the oven liner, buying the tape to stick it all down, and having all that to deal with (some have to remove it to change bobbins) when I can buy the made for the purpose product to begin with. Sometimes making do is sensible sometimes it's silly.

    there is a silicone spray you can use also. I've not bought any myself but may one day if I do a lot of FMQing.

    Cost, Bella Boo. The Slider is quite expensive, especially if I have to have it posted to the UK. If an oven liner will do the job and I have money left to spend on fabric, it's not silly at all

    The Slider is brilliant, but the oven liner is a lot better than nothing.
