Oh I'm going to try your plastiic trick....I have a piece just the right size too!
I had read that you can do the same with parchment paper but have to tape tape tape it down otherwise it will rip.

I am trying to do FMQ and have been less than successful at it. I would love to know what is a slider.

I've only done very basic, straight stitch quilting on my sewing machine but would love to try some FMQ. I'm a little scared but I guess I need to just get in there and try it. I've got to research this slider thingy. I clicked on the link for it but I want to see how it actually works. You tube, here I come.

Has anyone found a tutorial for the "slider thing". I still don't know what it is!

Another thing that helps is wearing my rubber grip gloves. And I went to Joann's bought a thick gauge clear vinyl. Then made my own Supreme Slider. That has made all the difference with FMQ. Woohoo!
My edit: Now I just feel like staying home and quilting...do I really want to go to work ...A Big Fat NO!!

That sounds so neat---now for this supreme slider--using vinyl---I have some of that stuff---how do you accomplish it? I have tried my hand at FMQ not the best---always looking for more helps.
