For those wondering if the teflon oven liner from Wal-Mart works (Mainstay brand) - Yes!! I picked up a sheet of it yesterday. Put some of the rubberized shelf liner on the underside (so it doesn't slide around on my table), cut out a small space for the needle. Got the idea from this board yesterday (believe the original poster had purchased her liner from Bed, Bath and Beyond - it was $19.99 there, the sheet I got from Wal-Mart was $10).

I was not going to be able to FMQ on this new sewing table because I couldn't move my quilt around with ease (I do use machingers). Difference after laying down the teflon liner was night and day. Made me a very happy camper.

I found I had better luck using a piece of heavy vinyl rather than the oven liner. It seems to stay in place better-maybe because of the weight?
I will try a piece of shelf liner under it to see if that will hold it in place better than the tape I was using. Thanks for the idea.

The original poster of this idea (at least in the thread I discovered this in) - indicated she used double-sided tape to tape the shelf liner underneath the teflon liner. That is what I did. However, I am not sure the tape will stick long term. As the teflon liner is non-stick - I would imagine this is why. If the tape doesn't work, I will end up using little dabs of hot glue or some other type of glue (not sure what yet). But my quilt just glided over the surface, it was wonderful!

Thanks so much of the tip, I will have to try it.

I have the Slider and it works for me. I like how it sticks to my machine extension bed without tape. I do use a piece of painter tape on one end just in case the quilt does move it into the needle. I can rinse it off if it gets threads and lint attached to the underside, and it does. It revives the stick.
