when SID how do you get fabric to "glide?"
#22
What kind of fabric is on the backside? I had some that didn't move easily. It's the kind of print that has a white, almost embossed feel to it. It wants to grab the surface rather than glide thru. I'm looking for a picture since I'm sure no one will understand my explaination!
The Supreme Slider works great for FMQ. I do not use it with the walking foot - it defeats the purpose.
EDIT: this is the best picture I have of this fabric. But you can see the petals of the daisies are white, and they are kind of embossed.

The super slider is wonderful and makes the fabric move much easier. I also use a pair of garden gloves (with the dots) to guide my sandwich. I've found that my arms and shoulders do not tense so much.

I rolled the sides of the table runner up and clipped them with clothespins. Not fancy, but it seemed to work. I bought Machingers gloves and totally forgot to use them. Oh well, next project will probably go a little better.
