    For the life of me I can not remember what this is called, and can't find it on the internet.......I think it is a silicone sheet, that is placed over the throat of the sewiing machiine, that allows the fabric to slide more easy when doing quilting, free motion quilting etc.....i thought some one even said once that the silicone sheets they sell for baking could be used.....I thought it was called a "Slip sheet"....but can not find it any where.... I am having a total no recall moment....(had grandkids all week end).........Thank you in advance, I know someone here will have the answer....

    I think you are thinking of a "supreme slider". Good luck with your search.

    I got the Sew Slip - it's more than twice the size for the same price:

    The new Queen Size Supreme Slider isn't quite this big and it costs $60!

    I'm curious... Has anyone had any luck making their own out of dry erase board or something like that? I haven't ever seen or touched or tested a Supreme Slider, so I may be way off-course.... ?

    I read that some people use the teflon baking sheets from Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

    OK....so now the question is which one have you used and is better.....the Supreme Slider or the Sew Slip.....both kinda pricey at just under $30.00

    I've only used the Sew Slip - it does everything that the other one claims to do.

    Very slippery on top and tacky underneath.

    As the tacky side gathers lint, it loses it's grip and you just wash it under clear water and let it air dry and it's tacky, again.

    No need to tape it to your machine.
