I was watching a video and the presenter said to spray the surface over which the quilt will move while being machine quilted (presumably any acrylic table and machine area) with Sewing grade Silicone Spray.
The machine quilting teacher at my LQS suggested using Turtle Wax on the acrylic table. After seeing the video, I wondered if there might be some residue from the wax that might cause staining. Apparently the sewing grade silicone spray will not stain. Have any of you used either of these methods? Thoughts? Thanks, Cathy The brand you are referring to is Sullivan spray silicone for sewing I watched the same video, I think, and googled and only found one place that has the Sullivan brand. There have to be more places to find it. I'm on the search for it so if you found it somewhere, please let me know where? Thanks, Cammy |
I use Pledge. Works just fine and I have it on hand for the furniture anyway. Does not stain or discolor the acrylic, easy to find at any grocery store, inexpensive, and smells nice. I believe in using multi-taskers. :)

Wouldn't this stain your quilt though?

The company that I bought my plexiglass insert for my sewing table recommends turtle wax. I haven't done this yet though.

Sewers Aid is pure liquid silicone. A few drops on a soft cloth will slick and buff great and cost less then the spray.
FYI: the expensive tiny bottle of no frizz hair serum is liquid silicone. |
Does/has anyone used food grade silicone? I have some that we use on our meat grinder, keeps it clean from rusting after using for storage. ??

Here in the UK you can buy silicone spray (called Easy Glide ) at MacCulloch & Wallis which is a hardcore dressmaker supply shop. Perhaps try somewhere similar in North America ?

ummmm, Pledge? Pledge has oils in it. I understand it won't stain the acrylic but what about your quilt? I sometimes leave mine under the needle and on the bed for a while. I would be very afraid it would seep into the quilt fabric. I guess it may wash out but not too sure I would want it in there to start with.

I don't know about the other suggestions mentioned here, but I would be afraid to use the Turtle Wax for fear of staining the fabric.

I've used Turtle wax and never had a problem. I've also used Harley quick wax (spray) and not had any problem No fabric staining what so ever.
