walmart Again????????????
Learning to fmq has been a real struggle for me, but haven't given up. today I went to local walmart to see if I co uldfind a teflon oven liner,They had one,so I'm going to use double sided sticky tape to hold it in place. I checked on-line for one it would have been close to $20 with postage and taxes, this one came to a little over $11 sure hope it works, one thing tho it is black, not the prettiest color but I can live with that.I practiced some this morning and it seems to be getting easier, guess every sewing machine has its quirks and I may have a few of my own. LOL

I recently took a machine quilting class. The teacher said you could use Tacky Finger (which is glicerin). You could also use gloves (like garden gloves), just cut the finger tips off. The main thing is whatever feels best for you, use it. Their are also rubber finger tips that can be purchased at an office supply store. Hope this helps

I have tried all the gloves, gardening, rubber tips, rubber gloves, rubber glove finger tips (cut from the gloves) Fons & Porter gloves, but I like Machingers the best. I used the supreme slider for a while and then forgot to put it on the machine and didn't notice a difference with the fmq. I think the best advice I've gotten is to practice, practice, practice, and then practice more. I'm still making progress.
