I purchased a couple yds of heavy mil vinyl off of a roll at the local fab shop. I did not place it on top of the actual machine surface, didnt want tape or tape residue on my machine. I covered my table surface only securing it w heavy duty staples on the underside. It was cheap and worked great. No problem w my quilt sliding in transition from machine to the table top since both surfaces are slick.

I cut up an old clear vinyl shower curtain and taped to my sewing machine bed and surrounding table. To me, it works better than the slider I had already purchased. No static problems, just nice & slippery for moving my quilts around.

How did your husband cut the plexiglass without rough edges?

The oven liners at The Christmas Tree Shops are only 5.00. If you have one near you. Has anyone used one of these yet.? I know you have to tape them down.

I forgot to say Ive had zero probs w static. Of course, I used all cotton so far so wouldnt have static anyway.

There is a product sold online and in quilt stores called the "Supreme Slider". I think there are now two sizes available. The one I have is about 8x10 inches. One side clings to your sewing machine and/or extension table to keep it in place. You postition it with a little hole in the center of it where the needle will go through the hole. The top part is teflon and so is really slick. So when you are FMQ the fabric will slide around easily. I think someone posted a link earlier on this thread.

I think I may have to give the cling wrap a try, just for grins and since I have some in my pantry.

I have both and the vinyl works just as well as the sliders. When I use my vintage machine that is in a cabinet I use the slider, but when I use my other machines I use the vinyl. I have a 4ft table covered with vinyl sitting to my left of machine, so when quilting the quilt and also for piecing it lets the fabric slide, it makes work so much easier.

Good Luck
