I was having trouble and I got some Machinegers (I think that's the name) gloves with the little dimples. I don't quite know why but having a better grip on the fabric seemed to make it move easier , or maybe I could move the fabric easier. I've also heard that some people used regular platex gloves. I tried the teflon sheet that you tape down on the face of the machine and it kept moving. I don't know if the tape wasn't strong enought or in the wrong place, but just didn't work for me, and it was seemed pricey.

Do you think Swiffer spray would work as well as Pledge? I have lots of Swiffer spray! :) My fabric is really catching on the wood and I can see that the wood is dry.

I was told not to use any spray cleaner/wax/polish on my extension table. Over time it will deteriorate and crack. If you have wood then any good furniture wax will work.

I use the Supreme Slider and find it's just the ticket for what I need.
