    I live in a small town, and could not find "machingers" in my area, so I tried a pair of winter gloves with the skid grip dots from the dollar store. Works great.

    A slider or glider that is Teflon I think helps a whole lot

    I have heard that the silicon sheets used for baking are good for this as well, but i never tried it.

    You definitely need a walking foot, it works great for pulling the fabric through all together.

    I have some silicone spray that is made for sewing (nothing will transfer to the fabric).
    Also make sure you don't have drag on your quilt.
