For years I've used the Supreme Slider mat and I've loved it. It seems a bit pricey, especially if you get the queen sized mat for the bigger machines. But I've always felt it was worth the cost.

I too find it fab for HST’s too, removes the need to draw the diagonal line across from point to point.” – Angela Attwood If your machine is not in a set-in cabinet, I highly recommend a Sew-Steady or similar extension table. The custom fit tables are much larger than the standard table that come with sewing machines. The extra space provides better support for the quilt and more free space to place your hands while you quilt.

I did get a Supreme Slider at one point, because of a sale or something. It's also super expensive here in Canada. Gravity wants to tug your quilt onto the floor and Friction doesn’t want you to move the quilt at all! I can't say it enough.....a smooth slippery surface is your biggest asset when it comes to free motion quilting! Gravity has one goal–to pull your quilt out from under your machine and onto the floor where your dog can use it more comfortably! (Yes, YOUR dog is on the side of THE Enemy!) The best way to minimize the force of Gravity is to support the quilt on as large a surface as possible. The ideal is to have your machine in a set in cabinet. This provides the largest possible surface to support the quilt. Place an ironing board or other table to the left of your machine and at the the same height, to provide even more support.
YouTube sets this cookie to measure bandwidth, determining whether the user gets the new or old player interface. To combat Friction, I recommend using a Supreme Slider by Lapierre Studios. The quilting mat adheres to your sewing machine and reduces friction. (I don’t recommend a lot of tools for free motion quilting, but the Supreme Slider is one thing that I think really helps create a smooth glide.) The mat comes in two sizes Small and Large. Buy the largest one that will fit your work surface. SILICONE SPRAY BE CREATIVE–Fight gravity in your own way! Look around your house and use boxes, foam board, books or other supports to create the largest possible work surface to support your quilt. Add inexpensive banquet tables behind and to the left of your sewing machine to support the quilt. I’ve seen a lot of MacGyvered sewing set ups that worked quite well–use your creativity to find a solution! Friction is a more subtle foe. It provides slight but steady resistance to moving the quilt. Supreme Slider
Product Reviews
Maybe it's because my machine is not lowered into a crevice on my desk and just has the table attachment (which is a little small) so the edges of the slider flip up sometimes.
If you can't move your project smoothly, your quilting will have a jerky, uneven look and your stitch length will be inconsistent. Plus, you will be a tense and frustrated quilter! Incudes a 1/4″, 1/2″ and 5/8″ seam allowances, a Centering Ruler and Grid with 1″ spacing across entire mat. I make mark less half square triangles. Two squares turned on the point and sew 1/4” from each side of the center. Cut them apart and iron open!” – Di Russell Welcome to Week Nine of The Better Machine Quilt-a-long based on my book 25 Days to Better Machine Quilting.
