I use a Nordicware non stick oven liner. I can't remember what I paid, but it was under $10 (I'm thinking $2.99). I just cut a little hole for the needle and I tape it down in a couple places. Works like a charm!

So right now the score is 2 to 1 against. Anyone else care to venture an opinion?

You can count me in the "for" column. I use mine all the time and it works great for what I do.

A couple of my quilting friends bought one and they never use them. So, I didn't buy one and I am doing fine with my FMQ. I do have a nice sewing cabinet that my machine sinks into with a sew steady insert. I use Machingers gloves and quilt away. I do notice quite a difference on how easily my quilts moves with the gloves on and when I forget to use them (I remember really quickly!)

I have the small one. I like it! I tape it to the machine bed to insure it won't move. I use my lint roller on the back to keep it clean and sticky.

I have the Supreme Slider in both sizes for my DM and my Sweet Sixteen and I like them. I tape them down and just peel back the tape when changing the DM bobbin. It makes a difference for me.

I had one and liked it, however, didn't realize you had to rinse it off once in a while. I had it stitched to my quilt for about 5 inches before I realized what happened. Haven't used one since!

I bought one two years ago and haven't even taken it out of the package yet. But when the "mood" hits I'll be ready.

Mine was more trouble than it was worth. I have an end of free-arm bobbin and even without the slider is an itchbay to change and with the slider on, it was frustration city. I actually do not miss it. I have the extension table that surrounds the free-arm area and it is pretty smooth, so no problems there. Slider is rolled up and in it's tube.

I have one and like it, and I have a top loading bobbin. After several months I did have a problem with the corners not sticking so good, but a bit of tape helps that. I really find it helps with FMQ and does make it easier to quilt.
