    I have the Supreme Slider. In fact I have three of them. One was a gift, I won one on a blog give away and I just bought the new extra large size one. I notice a big difference in my hands, they feel more relaxed after quilting. If I don't use the slider my hands feel tired. I rinse it in water to remove lint and threads and it resticks like new. I don't see how a baking sheet would work the same. I have a teflon baking sheet and it is nothing like the Supreme Slider.

    I bought a sheet of template to try as a slider. Haven't tried it yet, but I did experiment and it does slide, so maybe?

    I also have the oven liner and punched the hole in it for the needle; I used double backed tape to secure rubber drawer liner over the entire bottom to keep the teflon liner from sliding. At the moment, of course, I can't think of the name of the rubber liner, but I use it to back many things to keep them from slipping and sliding.

    I have quilted for 20 years and have never heard of a slider sheet ! Does it sit on top to make fabric slide easier? I do use those rubber door stoppers (2) to place under in the back of the machine to tilt the machine forward. It really helps with the shoulder position when I am sewing. You can make the machine tilt as little or much as you like and they seem to stay in place pretty good.

    I'm going to try the MinWax idea, thanks for sharing that.

    Could you someone describe this oven liner that they purchased instead of the Supreme Slider. I have never seen or heard of such a thing. That does it look like & where besides WalMart can it be purchased. I live in Canada. Would appreciate any help that I can get.

My shoulders stay low and relaxed that way.
    You can also get the better shoulder ergonomics by getting a chair that lets you sit higher. I use an adjustable drafting chair ... one setting for regular piecing/sewing and a little higher when I am FMQ or SITD etc.

    I use a silcone spray that makes the surface that I am working on very slick. It is not sticky and
    I have not had any problems with whatever surface I spray it on. You don't have to wash it off, it
    eventually goes away.

    I'm quilting small quilt now and wondering about how it could be easier. Wow, was that an eye-opener. I'm off to find an oven liner. LOL.
    Thanks
