Now that my quilt room is finished and I am set to go I have a few questions about products I have seen mentioned or used and would like some feedback.
Years ago my best friend and I did quilting together. She did the free motion quilting and I did the piecing. She would use a silicone spray of some sort on the surface around her sewing machine to help everything move easily. Have you ever done this and what product did you use?
Recently I have read about the Clover Fabric Folding Pen. Have you tried it and how does it work? I looked it up on the internet but there is not much of a description. Wonder if someone can come up with a recipe for the solution you use in it?

Hi Ann
I have used the silicone spray you mentioned, however, that was five years ago - I'm not sure it is still made. I have had better luck using a piece of silicone that fits over your machine bed with a hole for the needle...there is a commercial product called the Supreme Slider - you can Google it to find it...pricey, but works well. Saw a thread on this awhile back and it was mentioned some have had good luck purchasing a piece of silicone at Bed Bath and Beyond. Hope that helps :)

many yrs ago I was told the silicone spray works if the machine bed is plastic and car polish if the bed is metal.
and was suggested getting one of those tflon liners used on cookie sheets and punch a hole in it.

I bought the Clover fabric folding pen a while back & it really does work like they said it does. It definitely is a keeper. Now if I would just remember to use it more.
