    Score! I paid $4.99 at Canadian Tire. I guess either price won't break the bank!

    ​A snow carpet is a thin slippery sheet of plastic that children can use a a sled to go down snow hills. On Sew Very Easy on YouTube, she mentioned that if you tape it down on your machine bed, it can act like a Supreme Slider for FMQ.

    Very cool. I had no idea what it was either. Very handy, I'd say.

    I did post a video as to how to use the snow carpet to FMQ but I am afraid it was deleted.
