FMQ - Slider Mats
#11
I tried both a slider mat and an oven liner on my Sweet 16. Both failed miserably. The slider mat was supposed to be self-adhesive. It lasted about 3 days before the edges started to curl. I tried taping it down but nothing stuck to it!
Same thing with the oven liner. No tape stuck to it. I finally threw both of them away.

My slider doesn't move or come off my machine bed unless I move it. That's odd that some do. I do take it off and rinse it well in running warm water to get the lint and threads off and let air dry. I also wipe down my machine bed with rubbing alcohol before putting the slider back down. I have never sewn it to my quilts but I can see how that could happen if it came loose.

My first Supreme Slider got stitched into my quilt and I got so mad I said that's it, never again!
But....... Bluprint had a huge sale and I bought 2 more for a ridiculously low price. So far so good.
I tried the sled thing and it didn't work well for me. Same with the oven liners.

I had a supreme slider, never liked it could not tape it down as my machine sits on a table.
I just FMQ without anything and I wear garden gloves with rubber nubs or the rubber gloves for gardening.
