I don't think that the slider sheet will make any difference. It's not that the quilt is dragging, it's that the feet can't get a grip. The only thing I can think of is to use water soluable stabelizer under the fleece. Between the feed dogs and the fleece. Might need to baste it in place first. Try on a swatch.
thanx again for youir help,would have worked perfectly if i'd learn to read!dar

you are not supposed to use you idt with all the decorative stitches. it will tell you in the information on your display which stitches you can use the idt with.
My dealer told me if you use the idt with some decorative stitches, they will be distorted and you can ruin the idt function.
Any stitch that requires you to go backwards shouldn't be used with the idt
